I am so ready
ready for a road trip, so ready. I cannot adequately express how ready I am. to throw some junk in a bag and slide into the passenger seat of the car. to prop bare feet up on the dashboard and dangle hands out of a rolled-down window. to fly down the highway, slurpee in hand, eyes on a wide open horizon. I don't even really care where we go. just so long as we go. just so long as we're properly able to switch up our geography. I'm ready.

You make it sound so appealing and I am a home body thru and thru.
Last night, I took my first summer-night ride in the passenger seat of my best friend's Volkswagon convertible, and it never ceases to be one of my favorite places to be. I hope you find a dashboard to put your feet up on soon--I could use a roadtrip as well.
*sigh* me too, all day i have been daydreaming with riding to places with strange names and eating apple pie on the counter of small roadside restaurants... my cameras are so ready.
Well said!
oh my gosh, yes, me, too! nice capture of a classic sign--we have that one in our collection as well. :)
Almost two years ago I took a road trip, by myself, up through Portland and the Oregon coast to Seattle. So beautiful. Best.Trip.Ever.
amen, sister. I consider vacations/road trips to be very important reset buttons for us. Freedom, new perspectives, a deep breath of fresh air. And life at home is always sparklier when you get back.
i desperately need a road trip. really. im stuck here in my home town. how great it would be to go away. i dont even want to plan it. you make me wanna do it. im jealous. :)
I had this same thought the other day-- driving along the ocean, listening to Vacation by the GoGo's at that magical hour when the sun is so pretty. I didn't want it to end by arriving at my destination and since then all I can think about is taking a roadtrip.
nothin' like a road trip!
i hope you post pics!
have a blast!
That's some of the most beautiful writing I've read all day.
oooohhhhh yes, sounds like a plan, a really good plan.
propped feet + dangling hands = perfection
I'm the exact same way. I've even been posting a series on road trips over at my blog lately! Tomorrow's post is exciting, I'm about to go on the road trip of all road trips.
i hear ya!

i looooove a good roadtrip:)
Wow...do cool retro signs like this exist all over in Portland, or what? Coolness. I'm looking forward to my July roadtrip to Provincetown! :)
Yes - I would like to take a road trip now too! Thanks for the summer inspiring post :)
i've been having the same thoughts.
I am with you on this! I was asking hubby for suggestions on where we should go.He just looked at me and said "anywhere." I know, right!!! : )

Have fun, my friend.

You took the words right of my mouth! That's exactly how I feel the past couple of weeks. My last holiday (a road trip along the Australian east coast *sigh*) was two years ago... I keep my fingers crossed for you that it won't take too long until you can hop into the car :-)
i hope you get your road trip soon!
whenever i put my bare feet up on the dashboard, someone complains. really - that is a requirement of a road trip! :)
Oh, I am so with you (Only you said it way better than I could have)!
ahhh, i want to go on a road trip! great photo, btw
ooh me too...thinking of road triping of europe in the autumn...
