We woke up early...

It was a five hour drive if we only stopped once for gas and didn't make any wrong turns...

None of us had ever been there before as they had just recently bought the new house...

He was hosting his first holiday meal...

It would be the first time most of us would have made the trip since they got married...

I sat in the back with my sisters in the front...

This was quite a change as I would usually drive because I couldn't tolerate the many stops others make on the road...

They told that I would be just fine. It was suggested that I sleep read a book or do whatever...

Fortunately for me, I had just recently found my way to Social Media...

I busied myself with re-entering pieces in collection form and exchanging messages with a friend...

My oldest sister had baked cookies and brownies for the ride...

It seemed that we had only just left home when we pulled in for gas...

I asked if I needed to take the wheel and was told that we were only an hour away from our destination...

I haven't driven on road trip since then...
