road tripping

the drive was wild... white-out storm flakes and wind for the first five hours (or longer, even) from maine into new york city... stayed on the main i-95 the whole way figuring it was the biggest and most likely to be cleaned road and the plows and salt trucks and emergency vehicles were out there, but there was no keeping up with the storm so we car-skied out of new england often just guessing where the road was and trying not to get tripped up on the ruts... fun at times, but skiing at 60+ mph in a 2000+ pound vehicle loaded with another 1000+ pounds of stuff (and no snow tires) for five hours was tiring... finally gave the wheel to jackson in southern new jersey and was more cramped than comfortable the rest of the way as the car was seriously packed and happiness shared the floor space on the passenger side, but we made it to virginia and ate dinner and i went to sleep... she did some work and went to sleep a bit later... we slept good, i think...

road trips are more fun when not rushed and not crammed into a small vehicle (and good weather helps too), but it was a fun day and best of all, jackson and happiness shared it... so goes the life lived day-to-day in this (e)thereal world... hope yours is fun too :)
