What better summer activity is there than the quintessential road trip? The idea of packing up the car and hitting the road in search of adventure and new discoveries appeals to all of us at one time or another, and I’m no different. As summer approaches, there’s always that nugget of an idea in the back of my mind. But this year the idea became a carrot dangling in front of me. Things seemed to be pointing me in that direction, with plans falling into place until suddenly summer arrived and I found myself packed up and ready to explore as I drove across the country!
