him & her XII: roadtrippin'

H E R


As we creep ever closer to the holiday season, plans are being drafted, reworked, and finalized for the long treks home. People are frantically packing their bags, ditching their school assignments, and not looking back. After all, you’ve been planning this for the last few months, and you're finally ready to load up the wagon and hit the trail toward a beautiful place with home cooked meals and queen sized beds. 

You’ll have a fair amount of pre-departure planning to pin down before you’re ready to load up the car. Things like: What time you will say you are leaving and what time you are actually going to leave? Who is riding shot gun? And (if you have any passengers with small bladders) how often is everyone okay with stopping?

Now it's time to prepare for the intermediate period between the time you depart and the moment you arrive at your destination. Whether your car trip is two hours long or ten traveling can be stressful. I know people always say "It's about the journey, not the destination.", but that's just not true when you're stuck in Wyoming for 5 hours. 

So make sure that you have plenty of snacks, a couple conversation starters, and an awesome playlist. Because even if the journey is long you can still make it fun.
