Road Trip

For more than a decade, my husband and I have done almost all of our travels by flying. We fly to London and to San Diego to visit our children.  We fly to Europe for a vacation, usually once a year.  But we do few if any road trips.

When our children were younger, we did road trips for family vacations.  We drove north several times, doing a loop that included New England one time, up into Canada--Ontario and Quebec--another, south another trip to Disney World, stopping at some of the east coast islands along the way.  But it has been quite a while since we have done a road trip.

Recently our daughter asked if we wanted to join her, her husband and daughter for a mini-vacation on Hilton Head.  We took about two seconds (thinking about having that time with our granddaughter...of course, and with our daughter and son-in-law) and said SURE.

So, we are off on a road trip.

Driving south...



Long stretches of highway.  Lots of time for conversation, or listening to music, or looking around.  Big sky up ahead.

And then we arrive at our destination.



The piece de resistance!



Road trip?  Totally worth it.

Have a wonderful time. I know you will. You have quite a cutie there. I know you will treasure every minute with her (and with your daughter.)

Hilton Head is a great place for a vacation. What an adorable little girl. I'm so jealous.

I'm sure it was worth it. I don't mind road trips and driving in general, except my arthritic hip now has other opinions to offer.
