On The Road Again

 "We do road trips right," I told Tracey on our way home from Buffalo. 

"You think so?" Tracey asked.

"Yep," I nodded, "I've thought about this a lot."

What makes a road trip great? Heidi's criteria.

  • Plan Your Stops

"Are you ready to stop?" Tracey asked me about 2 hours into the trip.  
"Well, I think Lucy would like to get out." I replied, 
"Then let's go a little further," Tracey thought for a minute, "I know of a better stop for Lucy." 
Of course, she was right. 

  • Good Snacks

"Hand me some of that leftover cheesecake from your mom's dinner party." Tracey said, "I cut it in small squares so we can eat it without a fork." 

"Sweet!" I replied, "But I'm gonna eat the vegetables and dip because my blood sugar is too high for me to eat cheesecake right now."

  • Good Games/Playlists/Podcasts/Books

"Can we be finished with Name that Tune and listen to the book for a while?" I asked, "It's gonna be a bit before I can play another game after the beat down you gave me in Name that Tune and Yitch Yitch." 

"Sure, let's listen for a while." Tracey paused, "But first, let's do a recap about where the story stopped."

  • Good Company

There is no better company to my mind than Tracey and Lucy.
