Taking road trips growing up was brutal!! Seconds
seemed like minutes, minutes seemed like hours, and hours seemed like forever
lol. I can recall riding with my moms
(that is right, I have three lol; I'll explain later 🤣) from
Louisiana to Dallas and that trip always was a bummer lol. First off, there was
nothing on I-20 to look at. Secondly, we
did not have all the gadgets these kids had these days to help pass the
time. So, we were stuck with
radio/music, Gameboys (batteries were trash lol), and playing random car games.
Let’s fast forward to adulthood and guess what?
It still sucks lol. What Young
Trellie did not appreciate is that even though the trip was brutal, we did not
have to drive lol. Somehow that key component
went right over our heads lol. Do you know what is worst than a long road
trip? Having to actually drive that long
trip lol. There is no napping for the driver! There is no daydreaming for the driver! There is no playing around for the driver!!
The driver must be focused at all times.
I think it is worst to drive these days then when our parents took us
places though. There are so many
distractions inside these cars, and you must eliminate them all. This is something I fail at miserably lol. Of
course, now that I am older, I have options for traveling: planes, trains,
& automobiles; however, all still take some type of time to get from point
A to point B. I was hoping someone could
have created teleporting by now lol.
That would make traveling so much sweeter lol; someone needs to get with
Steve Urkel so we can get this invention created lol. On that note, I still
hate it here; however, the destination after traveling is always a great
time. Until it is time to return home
smh lol.
P.S. – before I go, I thought
it might be a great time to explain my three moms situation lol. There is my TLady (Big Red) the mom that
birth me. There is my sis, the mom that
helped raised me. Then there is my first cousin/aunt, the mom who always made
sure I stayed active and kept me around with her kids. Get it? Got it? Good lol.

You are so right.....as a youngster really did not appreciate those long road trips enough because driving sucks.
ReplyDeleteSo true! Any road trip over 6 hours requires a plane ticket. 😒
ReplyDelete6 Hours? I am at the point now anything over 5 hours needs a plane ticket lol
