San Diego 2009

I've got it bad.

I've been feeling really restless lately, and I want to get out of town.  I want to go camping, or to the beach or the mountains...or Sea World...anywhere.  I just want to pack up and go.

Arkansas 2005

I love the feeling of pulling our packed car out of the driveway...kids armed with dvd's and snacks in the back...and going.  somewhere.  anywhere.  I want to see something new, something awe inspiring, or fascinating, something fun.  I need a break from spelling words and chore lists, laundry and dishes, schedules and routines...just a little break.

Gulf Shores 2008

I want to laugh with my kids and stay up late and eat ice cream and play.  I want to listen to music and talk to my husband while he drives.  I want to travel, and rove about.

Rocky Mountain National Park 2006

Ninety-five percent of the time, I'm perfectly content to be home...I'm quite the homebody usually.  But, when the travel bug bites, I need to go.  When I see out of state plates or cargo carriers on cars...I get the urge to roam.  Insert "big sigh" here.  Maybe soon we'll hit the road and go.
