There are some huge changes arriving in my life, most are wonderful and exciting, but some are quite sad. I won't tell you everything right now, because all of the changes won't be happening at the same time. Instead, I will tell you the first item on my agenda is also one of my favorite activities---a road trip! This won't be just any ordinary road trip, it will be as my sister, Kay, calls them, "a Julie Trip". Julie Trips are crazy, outrageous, illogical trips which make no sense to the average traveler. If you just want to get where you're going as quickly as you can you wouldn't want to travel with me. On my road trips I sit behind the steering wheel and let Van make all the decisions. If he notices an interesting road we haven't explored, that seems to be close to the direction we're traveling, I think, 'Why not!' and off we go. If we see a pretty little campsite hours away from where we had planned to stay for the night, we stop. Almost always, after I've set up camp and had time to explore, I've found that these unplanned stops contain unexpected treasures---treasures only found by those who are willing to take the time to explore.
