Hi all. Well, we're on the road again. Another spring break, another year later. Hard to believe that time can go by so fast. This year when we talked about taking another road trip, Hugh said he'd come along! Wow....silence followed by excitation! He's never been on one of our road trips. The girls and I started to wonder how he would fit in. He's usually up at 4 am every morning and in bed by 7 pm. How can this possibly work? How will he fit in with Lady Gaga, and of course, what will he contribute to girl talk? What else will be different? Well, for one thing, we find ourselves traveling with a large cello in the trunk. Yes, you read it right. Everyone needs their creature comforts when leaving the nest, even Hugh. But, as usual, this morning I am in the breakfast room by myself, and everyone else is still sleeping, including Hugh! He might fit in after all...
Yesterday was my birthday. I wasn't sure how I'd feel waking up in my 30's, but so far, it feels okay!! Our friends, Sandy and Sophia; stopped by yesterday morning and dropped off delicious treats for our trip, including a blueberry coffee birthday cake. It was really, really, good.
So, anyway, this year we are heading South again. Maybe to Charleston, we'll see. Today we are in Louisville. We check Craigslist through each state to see if there are any 1994 V12 Jaguar XJS' available. Another kudo for Hugh! Who knows where this could take us.
Stay tuned...
When Hugh said his cello could easily fit in the back of the Kia, I just thought that was a general test of a vehicle's utilitarian value - I didn't think he'd actually be bringing it with him on your road trip.
ReplyDeleteI now own a 20-year-old Lexus that looks as though it was used as a bumper car a Great America. We'll drive it for a few years and I'll then get this Lexus bug out of my system.
