Roadtrip: T-Minus 10

I've been talking a lot about a roadtrip recently. One of my best friends from school and I are going to take a roadtrip from my house to school!
Here's the fabulous route that we'll be taking care of my TomTom!

I am so excited about making this trip, however I've never done one quite like this! I've never driven the entire 9 hours myself. I've been a passenger on a return trip from Christmas break, and I've driven portions of the trip, but I've never done it all on my own. I'm considering it my own little test and I'm sure I can do it! What's the longest driving trip you've ever made? 

Here's my list of stuff to bring so far:
  1. GPS/Mapquest directions (although in all seriousness, I'll be making 7 turns for the whole trip)
  2. Snacks (stops will be made, obviously)
  3. Diet Coke
  4. iPod with FAB playlists (thankfully Aly and I love the same music so that won't be an issue)
  5. Gas $$ (rats!)
  6. Comfy driving shoes (aka sneakers and no Jack Rogers)
Any advice for me? I'm happy to take any at all!!!

Merry Post Christmas!


After a whirlwind Christmas adventure, I am finally back and a-posting! My sister, my parents, and I all drove up North for a few family visits on Christmas day. After finishing gift opening, we hurriedly packed and drove up to Brooklyn, NY and spent just over an hour in a Nursing home visiting one of my great aunts who has recently had a stroke. We then headed up to Rockville Center, NY for a family Christmas get together for my Mom's side. The next morning we headed further north to Sudbury, MA to get a quick visit in with my Dad's side. In all, we saw every relative on both sides minus 1 very elusive uncle on my mom's side. It was great to see (almost) everyone on both sides for a chance, despite how fast we had to travel.

As Christmas goes, it was very fun and for my "wow gift" as my parents have begun calling them, I got a GPS. I am pretty excited, but I have made a promise to myself that I will not become dependent upon it. My parents/Santa got me a TomTom, and just tonight I have downloaded a few new color schemes, my current one being a 4.5 star-rated "Girly Pink" scheme. What else can I do? It's kinda tough to see from my MacBook, but its a good glimpse! I love it and on our trip I found myself watching it like TV. My mom said it was the perfect chance to "get to know it" so that it's not s gadget-y while I'm driving with it. I got a bunch of other stuff too that I'm really excited about, mainly Lilly stuff from the store and a couple other pieces that I can't wait to blog about.

Tomorrow will be all about the Debutante Ball. Let me just preview it by saying that I haven't had such a fun time in a LONG time!! It was great, and fun enough to make the background picture on my computer! Lots of pictures to follow!
