chitty chitty bang bang

day two. passing through the wild west. I love the scenery here. saguaro cacti gesture. arms outstretched. boulders are building blocks for children of giants and sit precariously poised and tossed about. soon an army of wind turbines will march beside us.

the hubs and I travel well together. he doesn't mind if I sing along to the oldies station. I don't mind if he drives the whole way. and he makes me laugh. seeing a sign for an 'all you can eat buffet' for $7.39 he casually comments, "too bad. I only have $7." we take detours. make plans to someday stop and see 'The Thing'. enjoy the anticipation of seeing the kids in a mere 317 miles.

passing a red pick up truck with a cute little camper lagging behind, bikes strapped to the front. I see the smiling driver and her traveling companion are having fun. the spare tire cover reads 'life is good'. I couldn't agree more.

'we wander for distraction. we travel for fulfillment.'
