Road Trip...My Worst Nightmare!

     I mean no offense to those of you who like road trips and traveling for hours on end in a stuffy car, however I must differ in that aspect. I am not a fan of road trips, and I don't like to be stuck in a car doing nothing but listen to my wonderful mom, who sacrifices so much for us to be entertained by whatever reading materiel that we decided to read, and suffer in silence. (Although I must admit that I do voice my complaints occasionally.) Don't get me wrong, I absolutely love being in nature, but I don't want to wait for more than an hour or so to get to the nature...and those dratted mosquitoes! Today was a holiday, so my father had work off today, so we went for a 12 hour drive. I love driving, but I don't like being driven for numerous hours, doing nothing in the back seat except listen to music, and read, and occasionally look out the window. I am so tired and I keep feeling that I should be wearing a seat belt as I am writing this that I think that I need a cool shower to allow reality to show it's true colors to me that I am actually HOME!!! Who would know that home meant so much after 12 hours of endless driving and exploring. Certainly, when I did look up and out into the scenery it was beautiful. I will post pictures of my trip tomorrow and you can sympathize along with me or criticize me by saying, "Amy, how could you be so bored with the scenery like that?" and I will reply, "Well, when you live in a place with ton's of mountains and hills, it's natural to see more mountains and hills when you look up. Honestly the green hills don't impress me much anymore, but I go with the flow to help my family enjoy it, even though I don't." I again express how tired I am of sitting, and...what is that I hear? Oh...My shower is beckoning to me, and it so hard to resist.....
