Road trip Boredom; One last trip

7/9/2014

We have finished moving across country. During the course of the last few months, we have made several trips from Wisconsin to Virginia and visa verse - each about 1750 miles round trip. We have explored, home hunted, explored more, moved, and moved more. The first several trips were really fun, but during the last two weeks we have made the round trip twice... it was a test of my endurance to say the least. My photography subject matter and attention were put to the test... The first sign of the decline came when the selfies started happening (on the right).

After that, the documentation of the trip took a rather interesting turn. They charm of the landscape was lost to me, and I turned to the car interior and immediate surroundings. Thankfully we made it home to VA safe and sane, and I thought I would share the results of my boredom with you:

This was fun until I thought about what would happen if the airbag went off.

Oh look!!! A truck is stuck to my Tootsie Roll pop!
Picture
About mile 1350 I realized that I could hold all of my hair up with one pencil, if positioned strategically.
Picture
About mile 1400 I realized that it might not be car sickness that was making my stomach a bit queasy.
Picture
The contemplation of both the irony and relativity of the name of this trucking company kept me occupied for several miles
Picture
As the wind whipped this around I thought about how A) totally ineffective they are, and B) how much longer will they exist, and C) how often they get in the way of a photograph.

Dear GPS Travel Lady; We can not go two directions at the same time no matter how many arrows you use.
Picture
Mile 1550 I discovered a hang nail.
We have been very lucky with safety, weather and all during all these trips, but it is nice to settle in now. But I have to include one more picture. On the right are four of the men that made the driving better!
