On the road again

Saturday, June 3, 2023

Six and a half hours in the car is just too much.

The kiddo and I drove to SoCal today. We’re spending the weekend in LA. Tomorrow we’re going to Universal Studios and Monday at Magic Mountain, before driving home.

My daughter and I have had many, many road trips and we’ve logged many thousands of miles… granted, most of it has been for softball, but still.

The thing about trips with her, she’s terrible company. Why? Because she’s always been one of those that falls asleep in the car. Ten minutes, and she’s out. On the rare instances that she’s actually awake, she has her AirPods in and is snacking. Have I mentioned how much I hate the word “snacks”. I think most parents do.

After one pit stop for gas, and more coffee, we finally reached the hotel around 5pm. Neither one of us had any desire to leave the room, so I ordered Chinese and we just chilled.

How can sitting in the car be so exhausting?
