Pad Patter 3/30 - Road Trips

Yep, I am the designated driver, with earphones! I love to listen to ARmstrong and Getty I download a full weeks worth and just laugh for the whole time. They are a morning talk show out of Northern California, and I loved them when we were there, and still listen far away!
 
I usually am in the car for long hauls with my sister or just by myself so I listen to music or books. My sister and I drove from NJ to Ohio and made up a game with road signs because we were so bored.
 
I love road trips, but hate driving them, so it depends on who I rope into going with me! I tend to get super sleepy if it's really sunny out, but otherwise, I love to look out the window, read, take photos, and jam out to music.
 
I love road trips :) Im either Reading, playing games, taking pictures, and singing away to the music, I even do some stitching too.
 
I normally read :) ... in fact we got back from a 4.5 hour road trip yesterday and I spent most of it reading when I could finally get the kids to shut up and leave me alone haha! They wanted to play 20 questions and the alphabet game ... I was like .. excuse me but aren't you two a bit OLD for this sort of thing LOL .... we DID have fun though!
 
I almost always do the driving on road trips. My husband prefers not to drive. We mostly listen to music, although he takes total control. There's a lot of Pandora involved. Sometimes he makes me a CD. Which is nice cuz I never know what he's gonna put on it. He often puts stuff on that he wouldn't like but knows I would.
 
Dramamine......



I can't read, play games, look at a map, look at a phone/iPad....NOTHING. I get car sick if my DH goes to fast in a parking lot! LOL I just sit back and chill out, take my drugs (if I am sitting in the front I don't have to) and SLEEP!!!

I take pictures too. When we drove to Florida in 2011 with the boys, I had to take a Welcome to... picture for every state. And I also have to make sure the boys are happy and have everything they need.

I'm headed out in the morning on a road trip. I'm taking the only son along with me that I won't let help me drive either! Not sure what's up with that. The rest are coming in another vehicle the next day.

I'll be eating sunflower seeds, listening to my XM radio, eating candy...anything to stay awake really. At least if I have to stop to take a quick snooze, this son is 6'4" and 330 pounds. I won't be nervous sleeping in my car if he's with me! :)

If I were the passenger, I'd be sleeping. I like to sleep! LOL
 
I look out the window :whoopdedoo
I get carsick very easily so that. or listen to music. or eat :giggle
 
Right now I would say listening to Sirius radio but come July when my subscription is up I won't be renewing. It is getting too bloody expensive! My hubs and I both have a radio for our cars but we've both agreed to give them up in July. I'll miss it but can't justify spending that much money a yr on a radio. I'll have to start downloading podcasts to take with me when I drive.
