We’re in South Carolina Ya’ll

Hello from the road!

Nine hours is a LONG time to drive/ ride in the backseat. Especially for someone who bores easily.

Kelly has the smart idea.

She’s working hard finishing her thesis. I’m working hard pushing my way through writer’s block. 🙂

I have an article I need to finish today, as well as a back log of other work matters, but I’m finding it difficult to work on the road. For some reason I write better in planes than in cars. I wonder why that is?

In between writer’s block I’m also reading Tina’s book.

And enjoying handfuls of the community bag of Sour Patch Kids

The perfect road trip snack if you ask me. 😉

Earlier we stopped in South Carolina for a roadside lunch.

Instead of wasting our money (and time!) finding somewhere to eat on the road, we all agreed a packed lunch was the way to go. Before we left my parents’ we stocked the car with fruit, vegetables, bagels, peanut butter, and other quick and easy snacks for the road.

Come lunch time, we just laid everything on the table for people to pick and choose as they saw fit.

I made a dipping plate of pretzels, apple slices, carrot sticks, and a heaping spoonful of honey peanut butter.

The lunch was a lot more fun to eat than your typical fast food. It was also a nice break from the cramped quarters of Kelly’s SUV.

Now, we’re back on the road and I’m counting down the minutes until it’s my turn to drive.

Eekkkk!!!

Are we there yet?
