on the road again...

i enjoy traveling, and since i am, ahem, "economically underprivileged" i drive. i don't mind driving, especially when i have someone to talk to, but after more than a few hours of interstate driving, my brain begins to feel like an oozy blob.

observations i made during today's quadruple state journey:

  • butterflies explode when they hit your windshield at 65 mph :/
  • frederick, maryland may in fact boast the worst(most aggressive, rude, pushy, etc. ) drivers of anywhere i've ever driven. (including washington d.c., baltimore, charlotte, pittsburgh, harrisburg, raleigh, richmond,  and NEW YORK CITY.
  • we pass by 7 sheetz stores, 3 starbucks, and 9 mcdonalds on the way.
  • turtles CAN make it the whole way across a four lane highway.
  • there is a VA vanity plate that reads "IMSMRAT"
  • it is exactly 347.8 miles from my house to my sister's. 
  • i much prefer taking the roads less traveled than the expressway. literally & figuratively.
this is what makes me smile:
road trippin.
