what we need

what we need is a vacation. literally we need to vacate the daily routine our lives have become and the guilt that comes when our to do lists need a word document and not just a small list of things on our hand. throw them out. let them go. 

vacation. that thing we dream about. and while we may think of the european glamour that vacations can be. those days filled with museums and fashion and red lipstick. 

but right now, that's not the medicine we are looking for. 

instead, let's pack on old car. one that looks like it won't take us very far, but we love anyway. let's let our hair air dry and paint our nails bright red. let's wear cut off shorts and cute sandals. we'll throw in our swanky new swimsuits and head east. to the land of the atlantic. maybe we will end up south to the coast of north carolina and joke about the differences between the two sides and their oceans. maybe we will head up north and end up looking around at the lush landscape of vermont or the rocky coast of maine. 

let's run away and eat only food we can find at gas stations until we find some spot to settle and we make it look like our home and cook lovely food we find on a general store from main street. we'll joke at how un-chic it is and how much we love it. we'll laugh and try to build fires and i'll convince you we must make s'mores. 

what we need is a road trip. hours of music and car dancing, of putting our feet on the dash and hands out the window, of taking pictures, and having spotty cell reception. 

so, you ready to go?
