One of my favorite things to do on a weekend or a day off! taking a nice car ride to a small town or nearby national park and stopping by a local cafe can be so relaxing. who says you need to travel far to take a vacation?
i went on this RV trip across the country with my family during the covid summer because we wanted to get out of the house but not get anyone sick or get sick ourselves, so we rented an RV and took off and basically drove from destin to the grand canyon and back. but i have a lot of memories of eating while we drove.
1. this really good homemade peach ice cream i got from an old man on the side of the road in texas. i remember sitting with the window open while we drove through the hill country eating the worlโs most delicious ice cream and getting rained on a little. it felt like a movie.
2. eating pad thai leftovers from my birthday while driving through yellowstone. i was sitting the front seat with a container of pad thai takeout in wyoming and just looking at all the trees and rivers through the massive RV windows. amazing moment.
sleep in
make a big pot of coffee
catch up on articles from bed
*bonus points if you have a breakfast tray, newspapers, magazines, and buttered toast*
put on some elevator music
roll around
after moving away from the us, my ears have become very sensitive to conversations happening around me in english. feeling uninspired and uninteresting? head to your local cafe and pretend to write (or actually write) about what youโre hearing all around you ๐
