whoops i guess i didnt post this in october...when i say "lets go to starbucks or lets go on a road trip" that automatically means that there will be some sort of adventure involved. This weekend was no exception. Me and my childhood friend decided to drive 6hrs north to a town i had never heard of before until this year, to visit a friend attending Simpson University in Redding, ca. Boy what a trip. First off....i have driven 3hrs...max at a time....so 6hrs. 14hrs total-was a very different experience. California is flat. Why does everyone love this state so much...like there are pockets of nothingness-come on wagon trainers, california is not all that amazing from sacramento up to redding.
i learned a few things:
-its easy to speed when the road it flat for hours on end. then when you see that you need to go the legal speed limit, 70mph feels like 15mph.
-there are many big dead dogs on the side of the road or in ghetto neighborhoods (we got lost quite a few times)
-a GPS is a lifesaver! until it sends you in the wrong direction when trying to get home. "GPS do NOT tell me where i live!"-yes i argued with Jezebel (thats my GPS's name)
-there is no point in cleaning the windows at gas stops- those bugs are just drawn and have no respect for my beautiful car
-i don't like driving alongside huge trucks on bridges- i feel so enclosed- so i talk to myself aloud to calm my stresses
-make tons of CD's but make 2 sets (one for the trip there and one going home) the same songs that used to be my favorite are now the culprit of headaches
-make sure your passenger puts their seatbelt on...never assume they are smart enough to remember :)
