Nostalgia

We are embarking on a journey right now. One we have done numerous times over the years. So many mile markers have memories attached from over the years.

Some I have no recollection of, a place we stayed to catch some sleep or a newly completed highway. There always seems to be fog in the same spots. Incomplete construction is pretty much a guarantee.

We always have good intentions of driving straight through. We have done it before, but recovery robs some vacation time away. We trade off driving time, he knows what parts terrify me, I know when he is getting tired. The music plays almost the whole time.

We talk about previous trips, the year our son could get out of his car seat, our daughter getting motion sickness. Once my daughter was getting so hungry she grabbed her dads hair to make her point! All the times we made the trip at night so we didn’t have to listen to the three of them fight.

There is always the review of the near miss accidents we have witnessed. Or even the ones we see on the way. Whether it be back home or our arrival, there is nothing sweeter than reuniting with the ones you love!
