I love car trips. Ever since we did our cross country trip I love the idea of piling up everything I love into the little car and driving to fun places. Being in California and having a car has meant that we can leave town at the drop of a hat. Since we’ve been here, we’ve taken around one trip a month to somewhere within California.
I am hoping this fact won’t change when the baby comes. On Wednesday, Jake and I drove up to meet his brother and parents in Santa Barbara to celebrate Thanksgiving. I am thinking this will be our last trip out of town before the baby comes. Especially since I’m already almost too big to sit in the car comfortably.
Our current car trips already include 7 books, 10 movies, a cooler with lots of veggies, fruit and water, several gigs of music, 2 laptops, several chargers, camera with three lenses, several sets of changes of clothes, and a blanket and pillow. All this just for a four-day trip. I can’t begin to imagine how much more complicated it will get once I have to bring along diapers, baby clothes, baby blankets, baby food, baby toys, and a million other baby needs. Our little Civic isn’t the roomiest car there ever was but it has accomodated us very graciously.
Pithier and longer entries when I’m back in town. In the meantime, Happy Thanksgiving and enjoy your weekend.
This shot rocks — I LOVE it … of course, I’m a HUGE bird fan — and I take ZERO photos of birds — now I know why — because YOU do it so much better! — Just lovely…
Amazing shot, indeed! Love the perspective you chose which makes this looks so different from what we are used to see.
