Enjoying The Ride

 

 

 

 Our road trips are mostly weekend escapes but some are longer. We once started a road trip and ended up in Nevada. We had no plans to go that far but we enjoyed the ride. We especially enjoyed traveling in Utah and Colorado. The best food we ever ate on the road was in roadside bar & grill in Colorado. It was very rustic and western, had a friendly, pleasant atmosphere and the food was really good.

We mostly travel to out of the way places. It’s not about destinations, it’s about slowing the trip down and seeing new places and meeting new people. We have our own adventurous style of travel, I’m not saying it’s right, it’s ours and we are happy with it. Cell phones are silenced except if we need to use them. Getting away from phones, computers, traffic and noise far from the hustle and bustle of urban life is like medicine for the soul.

We’ve spent many years traveling together and have learned the art of traveling slowly. We keep a positive attitude and place a high value on forming relationships with local residents and others we meet. We’ve met many wonderful everyday men and women over the years, some have become lifelong friends. Stepping outside your comfort zone to talk to new people and try new things can be rewarding.  Embrace the unknown; you never know if you'll be in a particular place again and what you discover can be amazing.
