Getting old, C'mon Kay!
As much as I love road trips, I haven't written much about mine here so far.
But your words....
but there is something just kind of magical and peaceful about a road trip!
Certainly made me nostalgic about a few of my trips. I just drove around a bit tonight and the skies were pouring down. I was listening to Eagles in my car and with the rain splashing against the windshield it made an interesting mix of sounds. I felt it was a little soothing even after a tough week at my desk!
If you enjoy it, I think it's a great feeling to be on the road, music playing, clear your mind and come back home to rest!
I think you are very right :). I think for me it's because it's been a big year--including 3 months on the road for my artistic work last year! Literally drove coast to coast and back again. Need to recoup again.. but I do like the shorter ones (just a day to somewhere else or so :).
