Road Trips

Road trips are an essential component of modern life. What is a road trip? It is a long journey, especially one that is recreational or spontaneous, taken in an automobile. They often involve multiple stops and are made for simple pleasure. This episode of the podcast delves into all kinds of road trips. Snacks are important on a trip and we talk about some of our favourites.

We usually start each episode by talking about what we are drinking. This time, no drinks involved. However, Leah did enjoy a beverage earlier in the day. Her boss bought Starbucks. The drink of choice for today for the oat apple-crisp espresso. It was delicious.

House moving is over. Today, Shawn cleared out his storage unit. Although he has a few remaining items at his brother’s house, mostly everything is now in the home. Organization is the final task.

After the preamble, we dredge up memories of childhood road trips. Leah remembers her mother waking them up at 4am. She and her sister instructed to get dressed and get in the car. No pajamas permitted. The 7 hour road trip to grandma’s house would then take place.

Shawn took a road trip with his grandparents in 1989. Mostly they did whatever his grandfather wanted. They saw airplane museums and ship harbours. A lot of driving took place and a whole load of motels experienced.

The rest of the episode details this past weekend’s road trip to Grand Rapids, Michigan. We went to the GoodWill bins, the Lush store in the mall as well as the Lego store and Hallmark. We ate at Bob Evans and the Cheesecake Factory. A major highlight was the Wally’s family of antique stores.
