It boggles my mind when people say they don't like road trips.  Perhaps its due to a memory bank stuffed with childhood summers on the highway, but I love road trips.  Find the perfect pumped-up playlist, put on the sweats and get ready for hours and hours of gorgeous scenery and deep conversation! What is there not to enjoy? As soon as Rachel got out of her evening class, we zoomed on out to Vegas, spent the night, and arose early to arrive in the valley before noon. There were a few mishaps here and there, like our mom having to call us to turn around because our navigation wanted to add an extra hour, but otherwise it was nothing short of a blast.
