      <content:encoded><![CDATA[Sometimes my hubby and I get bored so we hop in the car and go for a spin. We just drive. Usually we check out roads we&#039;ve never been on or visit cities next to us to see what&#039;s going on that particle day. It&#039;s kinda fun. I don&#039;t want to be cheesy but it&#039;s like we are modern day pioneers. lol<br />
Where do you like to go if you just go for a spin?<br />
Would still continue to go with the gas prices these days?]]></content:encoded>

They called for rain at about 8 pm and it was just around 2 pm so we should be good right?  Wrong.  We stopped quick at Costco to grab something for the picnic.  Before my wife came out I noticed it was starting to sprinkle.  It looked good in the direction we were going so we went for it.  <br />

We get to our destination and it is beautiful.  The kids...<br />

I remember packing up my Chevy Pickup and loading up the shell (yes, remember camper shells?) and heading west.  Between semesters I drove &quot;home&quot; and depending on the weather, I took the &quot;southern route&quot; when it was cold and the &quot;northern route&quot; when it was warm.  What a treat I thought to discover the beauty of the lakes and expanses of the Midwest, the Southwest and its deserts and all the people along the way.<br />

 <br />
Personally, I always get my oil checked if it&#039;s 6+ hours away. Regardless of how far, I also get my tires checked and fully gas up the vehicle. I also thoroughly clean it, even if it&#039;s just a short trip. I like to have plenty of space for anything I might bring home and don&#039;t want a big mess in the car.]]></content:encoded>

I drove 20 hours straight, picked him up, took a 6 hour nap and drove stright through all the way back. Stopping only, both ways, for gas and the toilet.  <br />

We wanted to just go wherever the roads take us without really planning anything out. Obviously, it is not something we can do now for lack of money (mostly). But, I think it would be something fun to do later in life. Maybe one summer when my son is a little older so he could enjoy it.<br />

It took me about 14-15 hours to complete each travel, with the pull overs included. When going from France to Portugal, I got out at 2am, arriving at Spain by the morning. I took the highway all the way so there wasn&#039;t much traffic. I was surprised how cheap it...<br />
