Road Trip!!

Have you ever gone on a road trip with your friends? If you haven’t I would highly suggest it for you to do! This weekend I went to Richmond with a bunch of friends for a Young Life retreat and it was a very interesting trip on the way there and back while we were driving. In our car there were 4 girls and we had a lot of fun starting as soon as we were loading the car getting ready to leave. I was about to place my bag in the back of the car but I needed to set my purse in my seat so I could rearrange everything to make room for my bag. When I sat my purse in the seat, I think my friend thought I was in the car because she began to drive away as I was leaning into the car to sit my bag down and it started to move. Luckily she was only circling around the parking lot but all we could do was laugh. We stood there laughing for a good solid five minutes. It was a great way to start off a fun weekend.
With every trip in the car you always need to have a great amount of songs you can sing obnoxiously loud too! We definitely had plenty of music to listen to and I’m pretty sure we were very entertaining to people when we passed by them because we are the type of girls that just can’t sit still while listening to music. We definitely got some weird looks and then there are always the people who are already dancing in their car, and we can’t forget the ones who just laugh at you when you pass them. The music was great but the people who were driving should probably go back to driving school. Our driver is very good but we definitely saw some people who shouldn’t be driving. We were pretty sure that one guy in a towing truck was going to rear-end us on an entrance ramp to I64. We were heading to lunch and the way the ramp is set up, several ramps all lead to the actual interstate and the guy in the truck had gotten on before us. When we merged over there was nobody coming and then one of us looked behind us and he was right behind us not slowing down, which made us swerve because we had no idea if he was going to stop. It was a scary situation but he finally slowed down after he gave us a look like we were a bunch of idiots! We were not very happy after that but it didn’t stop us from having fun the rest of the weekend! Everyone had a lot of fun and we can’t wait for our next adventure together!
