There you have it, my essentials for a pleasant road trip. Happy travels!
Where route are you taking for your road-trip? Crystalle and I plan on taking one next June, and I'm pretty excited about it! Thanks for the tips!
ReplyDeleteWe are headed to NOLA, then Destin! Can't wait. I love the beach. Where are you going?
ReplyDeleteI tried to reply to this post twice at work on two different occasions but it was being a pain. So, here is my delayed response:
ReplyDeleteWe are planning on doing a road trip next June. Drive up to Seattle through CO, WY, etc, then down the west coast, and then back through the desert. We only have 10 days, so it might be too ambitious, but we'll see. The plan is to spend a couple of days in probably Seattle and San Francisco and just drive through the rest. Just see the western US through the windshield. Did your road trip go well?
