10 signs you are on an RV road trip (or things I learned
driving over the past two days)
10. Every car or
truck on the road wants to speed up and get in front of you whether you are
going the speed limit or not.
9. You discuss how
easy it is to exit a gas station before choosing to go there.
8. You are outpaced
by a freight train.
7. You not only kill
bugs with your car, but the occasional, extremely confused, large raptor. (so
VERY sad about that hawk – it was such a beautiful bird too - not the high point
of my day).
6. Driving takes
hours longer than it does with a car.
(11 hour drive to Gallop instead of 9!)
5. Dinner is
prepared, served, eaten, and cleaned up while driving down the road.
4. You wake up in a
Walmart parking lot.
3. Kids fall asleep
on a bed before you reach your destination.
2. RV tires are really expensive - but when there is a bulge the size of a grapefruit in a tire, its kinda mandatory to get new ones.
1. Within a 11 hour
period the passengers in your vehicle say “I have to go to the bathroom” TWELVE
times total, and you never have to pull over.
(I am now the only person in the family who hasn’t used the bathroom while
the RV is rolling down the road at 65 miles an hour – so I will have to let
Michael drive at some point just so I have a frame of reference!)
did you hit a bird and blow a tire already? That was fast!
ReplyDeleteBig beautiful hawk.... gone. So sad.
ReplyDeleteThankfully we made it to Discount Tire before the tire actually blew - but it was BAD. They said the tread separated because of moisture. It was bad on one, but evident on three others, so we had to replace them all....
I am glad that God protected you and that tires held up until you could replace them.
ReplyDeletei think it's hilarious that you won't let Michael drive! feelin' the power behind the wheel!
ReplyDeleteTotal bummer about the tires.
ReplyDeleteI'm very sorry about the hawk. I hit a squirrel once several years ago and I still can't shake the guilt. VERY relieved that you figured out the tires BEFORE something happened. Infinitely better those were removed while stopped and in a tire shop than at 55 MPH on a desert highway. Hope Luke is still recovering well from his run in with the stick on the last day of school! The stick may have won the fight, but Luke will win the war.
