Road Trip anyone?

Question

On the spur of the moment you decide it's time to get in your car and drive. Where will you go? How long will you be gone? Who will you take with you (if anyone)? Will you visit friends/family or just go sightseeing etc? ---

Have fun and please drive carefully!

Answer 1

My spur-of-the-moment trips usually head towards the Tennessee mountains where most of my family lives. It's just a four hour drive, so Friday afternoon, I throw a few things in a bag, turn the porch light on, load the dogs in the van, and go. When I get there I usually stay at my aunt's house, which is high up on a hill overlooking a big red barn, several horses, and a few dozen Angus steer. I always get up early one morning and take all my camera gear to the Holston Valley River Dam, which is about 15 minutes away, and find beautiful foggy sunrises and interesting old guys in rubber thigh boots fly fishing. I try to head back before dark, because it always seems longer going back home.

(why do you have 3 thumbs down for this question???)

Answer 2

I will take my sweetheart, somewhere within a couple of hours drive from here, be gone just a couple of days, don't want to stay gone too long, maybe 3 or 4 days. Not near friends and family, sometimes, you just need to get away and spend time with your significant other, away from the pressures of real life, in order to focus completely on them.

Now, you've made me want to go on a trip... Hmmm, maybe I should start planning... ;-)

Answer 3

SInce I live in Wisconsin, I'd drive to Door County. It's like a mini Cape Cod or Maine, Except it's Lake Michigan and Green Bay instead of The Atlantic Ocean. It's less expensive and less crowded too. Lots of very quaint little towns and Hundreds and hundereds of miles of shoreline.

Answer 4

YES! PICK ME! I'LL GO!! ;)

First I'll visit each of my kids & see if they want to go w/ me & our family dog (who is already excited to be in the car & hanging out of the window...)

Then, once they say, "Of course!", we'll stop by the gas station and fill-up.

Then it's off to Wal-mart for snacks & disp. cameras...

At last, we will drive to the beach and pile into our fantasy yacht (w/ full crew already aboard - waiting to meet our every need)...

Oh wait, this is a road trip, right? Right.

Ok. Back in the car... Now driving down the coast, (day-dreaming about: when we win the lottery... going on a cruise, spending time on our yacht, going to Turtle Bay, The Virgins Islands, The Bahamas...)

Then the fight breaks out - KIDDING! (Back to "reality" - and I use that word lightly...) teehee........

But, OH NO! It's the dreaded "alphabet game!!" LMAO!!...

Ok, back to the road: We'd drive all over Virginia, (cause there's soooooo much to see there!!! We'd stop @ The Great Wolf Lodge on I64 & spend a week or two...) then to Busch Gardens & Water Country, (& spend a week or two there)...

Then travel to as many of the flooded/fire/stormed cities as possible... and help w/ recovery efforts... help to get their children ready for school, take them on shopping sprees for school supplies & clothes, (since, after all, this is a fantasy - and, I mean, we did just win the lottery while we were traveling thru VA. - right?) :)

Then, after we were exhausted, (but not as exhausted as the people that lost everything to the flood waters/storms/fires...), we'd go by DC, to ask Bush, "So, whats up w/ New Orleans/Mississippi/"Katrina's Kingdom"? WHY? What's the problem? Where did all that DONATED money go to? WHY the *#!* did all those families spend the winter in tents!!! And why all the red tape bull?? So, what - exactly - have YOU done/are you doing/are you going to do to fix their situation??"

Next, we'd take some of the families to the nearest car dealership and set them up, (thanks to our lottery money...) ;) so they can start their own road trips...

Then it's on to New York, Martha's Vinyard, ('cause I've never been - and always wanted to go...) Then to Canada, Michigan, and Vermont, (same reason - but of course - not in that order... giggle...) By then, we'd most likely see some snow, so, we'd spend some time learning to ski!

Back in the car again... we'd travel all over the remaining States, hitting as many Bed & Breakfast, log cabins by the lakes, Mom & Pop's/diners, Theme Parks/National & State Parks, putt-putt golf courses... hahahahaa... We do everything from white-water rafting to skateboarding, whale-watching to horse back riding, and then, end up @ the Airport... :)

WOW! I'm exhausted! But, wow! What a total BLAST!!! still... lol :) (((Thanks)))

Answer 6

Last night I was thinking about this. I am craving the ocean. Unfortunately it would be about a 6 hour drive and with gas prices the way they are and the fact that I have to work tomorrow, it makes it pretty unlikely that I'll go.

Soon I hope.

Answer 7

I live in CA, just returned (flying of course) from a trip to the north woods of WI and would love to go with my husband on the circle trip around Lake Superior. Would love to take a month or so do it in the fall to enjoy the color (don't get fall color in So. CA) and also trek over to Niagara Falls as well.

Answer 8

I need to go on one badly. Never have done it before. I dont care where I go , who I go with, as long as I have fun. I would just ride until I was sick of it for the day and then stop whereever or maybe stop when I came across something interesting. It really doesn't matter. I just want to go and be carefree for a small fraction of my life and to be able to say I did it.

Answer 9

As I have 4 kids I don't usually go that far. I love to take them on drives though. I usually take a drive up to Michigan and go to this great hamburger place called Redimax. Best place ever!!

Answer 10

I would go to North Carolina where some friends of ours have a cabin outside Bryson City. I'd take my husband and daughter and a couple of other friends and go for a week at least, I need a vacation!
