The farthest I've driven from my city is probably five hours visiting family in North Carolina. So I was excited to take this road trip to the Midwest. Riding in a car for over ten hours, gives you lots of time to snooze, talk and even more time to think. I spent most of my awake time staring out the window at the landscape. I'm a coastal "lowcountry" girl, the only "mountains" I have to worry about are the ones they call speed bumps outside a local Piggly Wiggly!
Passing through Tennesee
As we traveled further through Kentucky and into Indiana, the scenery started changing. What a beautiful nation we live in! For a homebody like myself, it just opened my eyes to how much more there is to see in the world then just the walls and corners I'm used to occupying!

I love watching the Travel Channel and this road trip gave me an opportunity to see parts of the country I only imagined going to visit. Isn't it amazing how some of us *points to self* are satisfied with seeing things with our minds eyes, but not taking steps to make it a reality! Those days are now far behind me...

We didn't get to stop in Chicago for a deep dish pizza. Guess another road trip will be in the works!

I had an awesome time on this trip and was very happy I got to celebrate my aunt's achievement with her and her husband. I'm throwing out the mindset that I can't travel now because... from this day forward, no more excuses just plans and results!
