Road trips

I took a vacation day this week. Instead of spending my time vegged out on the sofa, I took a road trip to Raleigh and beyond.

The best parts:
  • Plugging in my iPod in the car, turning it up and rolling the windows down
  • Wearing big sunglasses
  • Not being in a rush
  • Going pottery shopping in Seagrove
  • Passing through a town called Olivia on my sister, Olivia's 15th birthday

The worst parts:

  • Getting lost somewhere near Asheboro
  • Having dead camera batteries and not being able to send the birthday sister a picture of her town

Overall, though, it was a great trip and gave me lots of time to think about things and relax.

Have you taken a great (or not-so-great) roadtrip? If so, please share it in the comments section.

A roadtrip to Seagrove pottery shopping is always good. Some of my favs are Westmoore Pottery, Pot Luck, Jugtown, Ben Owen III, Crystal King, and King's Pottery. There are other great ones, too. A fun way to spend a few hours (and a few dollars).
