Road Trip 2019
I have never been on a long vacation.
At least what I consider long…ours was 8 days long! On the road. From Fort Worth, TX to Atlanta, GA to Myrtle Beach, SC to Nashville, TN to Memphis, TN to Hot Springs, AR and back to Fort Worth, TX! You tired yet? I am!
You tracking the miles? Well, if not, it’s around 2,200 miles. In a car. Well, we rented a SUV because we had to ensure we had plenty of trunk space for luggage and a cooler.
Our “vacations” as I was growing up usually only consisted of an extended weekend and a few hours’ drive. If we were visiting family, family always lived within driving distance. In fact, I didn’t even fly until I was 42 years old and even then, I had to make that trip happen (will post about that separately).
Family vacations growing up were typically amusement parks or camping. Not that there is anything wrong with either of those. I still love amusement parks at my ripe old age but am so over camping; give me a RV or a hotel – I’m good!
