Unexpectedly, I had an opportunity to go on a quick trip with my husband over the weekend. We left Friday afternoon after I was done working and was back home on Saturday afternoon. Yes, left the kids overnight. Yes, it's legal. I checked with my cousin who is a police officer. Missy is 17 and it's not illegal so I bit my lip and went. Surprisingly, I didn't freak out (at least over that.) I enjoyed having my husband to myself.
Let me clarify. I enjoyed having my husband to myself and the thousands of other drivers on I-95 through Florida, Georgia and South Carolina. I spent a lot of time gasping because I couldn't believe what I was seeing and trust me, a TON of praying. Lord have MERCY. People can't drive!!! I always respected what he does for a living, but more now than ever.
I had fun, but I can promise you all something. I am in no danger of obtaining my CDL. I don't ever want to be a truck driver!

| Really, Mr. Cup? I thought you knew me better than that! |
 |
| 70mph on I-95 somewhere in South Carolina. |
 |
| This guy? This one right here. Yeah, I love him. |
 |
| I have never been to Savannah...hopefully that will change one day. |
 |
| I actually took some of the brightness OUT of these photos. The sun was relentless today. And it's funny because I woke up to frost but it warmed up so nicely. |
 |
| By the way, if you ever want to shock a truck driver (which is hard to do) you should walk through a filthy urine filled truck stop parking lot wearing a maxi dress and pink flop flops. That should do it. |

| It was so nice spending time with my husband without having children around! |

| Funny story. We didn't get to this truck stop until 1am. We went to sleep and at one point I rolled over to see what time it was. We were sharing a twin mattress...neither of us are small people. So he murmurs, "What's wrong?" And I said, "My bladder insists that it's somewhere between 5:30 and 6:30." He yawns and says, "That's the dumbest thing I've ever heard. It's only 3 or 4." I disagreed and said, "Where's your phone?" So he grabbed the phone and said, "Well, I'll be damned." Yeah. It was 6:11am. My bladder doesn't lie, peeps. Three children will do that to your bladder. |

Sounds fun, I miss road trips!
I haven't done too many road trips. At least not as an adult, and without kids. This was pretty fun. And I didn't have to drive which was extra nice.
