Continuing my quarter life crisis adventure…I was on the road for what seemed like forever. Seriously, it did not look this far away on the map… not that the map stated anywhere that it was actually drawn to scale. My lack of skills to correctly interpret a map have gotten me into more than a couple quandaries.
Oh well, it was too late to turn back. It seemed like days later, but since I hadn’t gone through my entire playlist on my iPod, I concluded it had to be closer to a few hours (yes, my iPod is my measuring unit for time). I finally arrived at my mystery destination.
Any guesses where I ended up?
How about now?
Now???
Ding, ding, ding!!! I AM at the Grand Canyon! It doesn’t matter how many times I go there, I’m still speechless every time I get that first peak over the canyon.
I absolutely love this place. It’s completely breathtaking and awe inspiring.
I even found me a pal. Actually he’s kind of an old friend. A couple years ago, we first met and now it’s sort of tradition that I have to visit him every time I return.
Cruising along in the Element, headed home.
Two days and a few hundred miles later, I landed back home. My head was a little less foggy, and I could finally catch my breath. It appeared I would be able to fight my way through my quarter life crisis. If nothing else, I learned one very important lesson – everyone should take a little trip by themselves once in awhile. It doesn’t have to be anywhere insanely exotic. It doesn’t even have to be a faraway destination. Just a little time to yourself, a little time to clear your head and a little vacation without someone perched next to you babbling away and insisting you don’t know how to read a map or that you’re driving too fast.
