Re: Big Fat Road Trip Necessities
1. Fave snack = Jack Link's Teryiaki beef jerky. Yum! I only ever get it when DH and I are driving a long distance.
2. Fave song - Journey's Don't Stop Believin'. Just such a good bounce around in your seat and belt it out song.
3. I'm a little of both. I typically want to get where we're going right away without delay but I'm more apt to wander on the way home if time allows.
4. When I was a kid, we'd go skiing on the north shore of Lake Superior each winter. It is a good 4 hour drive or so which, to a kid, is FOREVER. My parents would pack snacks and books on tape to keep us occupied. We always got hot cocoa in the backseat which i looked forward to every year. We never got to have hot cocoa in the car any other time and sitting in the backseat, tucked in with a blanket (my dad hates when it is really warm in the car so we always were kinda chilly in the back), listening to a good book and drinking cocoa was just so much fun. Makes me want to go buy an air pot so when DH and I have a kid or two we can do the same.
1. What's your favorite road trip snack? Corn nuts, honey roasted nuts, pretzels, goldfish, sweedish fish (sorry, I can't just pick one!). **Thanks for reminding me I need to buy some travel snacks!**
2. Favorite driving CD or Song? Totally depends on my mood, who I'm with, etc... If I'm by myself I like to put my iPod on random and have a sing-along.
3. Are you a get where your going type of person or a stop and smell the roses type? If I'm really excited to get where I'm going, I hate stopping. Sometimes heading in a new direction will make me just as excited for the trip as the destination -- and in those cases, I'm a stop and smell the roses gal.
4. What's your funnest road trip memory? Driving in the middle of nowhere between CA & CO on a trip to a two week long camp with a group of church friends (DH was a part of it... most of them make up my best friends now) and our youth pastor (who is now one also one of our best friends)... we were listening to some weird world music and while he was driving, he started doing these big, slow arm flaps because that's what he thought the tribesmen who wrote the music would do (obviously we had been in the car for WAY too long!). The next thing we knew, a highway patrol officer was racing across the median and we got pulled over for going over 100 in a 70 zone. I can't remember what the officer had to say but I remember he wasn't buying that the driver was a youth pastor with a group of 17-21 year olds on our way to camp and all of us were struggling not to crack up laughing until he let us go with a HUGE ticket.
Now that I'm thinking about that story... I have so many funny memories from that trip.
MY BLOG!
Love this!

1. What's your favorite road trip snack? Gummy worms.
2. Favorite driving CD or Song? When I was kid, my parents and I always listened to the Les Miserables soundtrack and Frank Sinatra at the Sands. Now, I don't have any specific song or cd.
3. Are you a get where your going type of person or a stop and smell the roses type? I think I'm more of a get where you are going type.
4. What's your funnest road trip memory? Probably when a friend and I went down to Lincoln City, OR (from Seattle) one night because we were bored. And we documented everything in a little notebook.
my currently-reading shelf:
1. What's your favorite road trip snack? I like having sunflower seeds, lollipops and something cold to drink.
2. Favorite driving CD or Song? When I was young my folks always listened to Fleetwood Mac or Phil Collins/Genesis. It brings back memories and I like having them in the car.
3. Are you a get where your going type of person or a stop and smell the roses type? It depends. If we are going to like a wedding or something we don't really stop but if we just kinda set out for the day we kind of meander.
4. What's your funnest road trip memory? My mom, sister, dog and I drove from Alberta to Newfoundland one Summer and laughed to tears many times on that trip. Between losing a hub cap my mom was determined to retrieve in Montreal to my sister waking up in Antigonish Nova Scotia and thinking we said Bangladesh and digging our own amethyst in Thunder Bay...it was all around an awesome time.
1. What's your favorite road trip snack? A big bag of white cheddar popcorn
2. Favorite driving CD or Song? JOURNEY! Also, Elbow, Coldplay, Neko Case, Band of Horses, Rilo Kiley, Florence and the Machine (who I just saw in concert on Sunday night!), and a collection of early to mid nineties hip-hop. Lol!
3. Are you a get where your going type of person or a stop and smell the roses type? Get where I'm going... but there is something to be said for taking a bathroom break in a cute little town and stopping in a shop or two.
4. What's your funnest road trip memory? (Love that you said "funnest") Justin & I drove from Brooklyn, NY to Oakland, CA when we moved here last summer, and we made so many memories! Some of the funniest involved trying to maneuver the big yellow truck into some very tight places.
