I love a good road trip.

Load up the car, head out for a long weekend, experience something new: count me in!

I’m sure you’ll find it absolutely shocking that I haven’t been on one in, oh, about four years, imagine that. What with the whole pregnancy and parenting thing, we just haven’t gotten around to it.

This weekend we’re throwing caution to the wind, shaking it up and taking a road trip. A mother-daughter road trip through Northern California up to Southern Oregon to visit my aunt.

We’re leaving Daddy at home for some very needed R&R with a clean house and a pantry stocked full of gluten-laden treats. He’s under strict orders to live it up and, um, clean up after himself (got that, honey!) since my gluten-intolerant ass is leaving the premises.

Now the question remains, did we forget anything? Because I don’t think we packed enough stuff.

We haven’t even gotten the luggage, cooler and purse in the car yet. Oh, and the kid! Can’t forget her!

Enjoy your weekend and we’ll see you back here on Tuesday.

Over and out! The girls are heading out…
