Today I'm going car shopping.
I'm not excited about it. I should be, but I'm not. I just keep thinking about how excited I was when I bought my Toyota. I was so excited to drive that thing across the country. I planned to have that car forever...I was so excited...I mean look at me.
Ignore the old water mark...It's from my old blog.
And now, here I am. Shopping. Again.
My car and I have been through a lot together. I took it with me when I moved to Las Vegas. It made 5 trips back and forth between Salt Lake and Las Vegas. It took me on a weekend trip to Flagstaff, Arizona for a bluegrass music festival. It took me to Los Angeles for a weekend for the Marine Corps Ball. It took me to 29 Palms multiple times to see my friends...I put about ten thousand miles on it in less than a year.
And now I have to take something different on a cross country road trip to Kentucky. It makes me sad. But maybe I'll buy something even better...
You can see from my past year of travels, that I have a bit of wanderlust inside of me. I love going new places. Being a total stranger in a new town is exciting for me. Traveling around the west has been fun, but I am so excited to travel around a new part of the country I've never really had the chance to explore. I've just seen so many beautiful things, I can't wait to see more.
I'd be okay with seeing a few more of these firey sunsets across the country. I caught this one on the California freeway. Stuck in ridiculous traffic...But I didn't even care.
I have all sorts of other places that I want to go. I have a list a mile long. And that's just in the US...
Well...here's too...new road trips, new adventures, and new fun in a new [to me] car.
