Just in case you need a reason

Cameron Tuttle wrote a book called "The Bad Girl's Guide To The Open Road". Full of fun facts and interesting tips, tongue in cheek advice, and useful information it is a must read before any road trip. At the bottom of most pages she has a running list of reasons why a person should go on a road trip. These are some of my favourites:


It’s time to hit the road when....
-you’re afraid to leave the house without makeup
-you have no idea what to do when you’re not at work
-you hate your job so much that you go to the bathroom just to pass the time
-you can’t go more than 2 hours without checking your voice mail
-you feel too fat to go to the gym
-you add things to your ‘to do’ list just so you can cross them off
-you have an overpowering need to sleep in a tepee
-another of your friends is getting married and you have to buy a butt ugly/expensive bridesmaid dress,
-you realize that the money you save by bringing your lunch isn’t enough to justify eating soggy sandwiches
-you’re about to have a birthday hat will require you to lie about your age forever
-you just miss qualifying for the witness protection program
-another person calls you ma’am
-you find your first gray hair
-you clean the house for exercise
you’ve alphabetized all the books on your bookshelves
-your clothes and pajamas are interchangeable
-you still have to sit at the kid’s table at family functions because you’re single
-your only exercise is running to get the phone
-you have to get the car out if city limits or risk it being booted for unpaid parking tickets



And my final and most important reason to go on a road trip: a chance to visit family that you haven't seen in awhile and bond with you sisters along the way :)

8 days to go!!! So excited!
