Many people have said that one of the things that you should do in life is go on a road trip. At the time,I didn't see the big deal about it. I mean what will I gain from going on some road trip? But while on the road trip,I started seeing beautiful places that I have never seen before. As I started viewing the beautiful mountains and hills,I was happy that I went on the road trip that covered 2,709 miles.

 

                                    

      My brother who is in the Navy just finished training and he wanted someone to ride back with him from San Diego,CA to keep him company. So I didn't want to say no because it was my young brother who I always enjoy being around. So I said of course. We didn't get to really stop and visit places because he had to be back at his next base where he is going to be staying in Patuxent River,Maryland. But we passed through Arizona,Texas,Arkansas,Tennesse and Virginia before finally arriving in Maryland. I took some pictures but there were not that great since I decided not to bring a camera ( I will remember to bring one next time ).

 

 

                                    

      The weather was very nice in all the places we visited. And Arkansas has to one of the states that has a big lake. Most of the time,all I saw in Arkansas was water - At least when I was looking out of the car. But it's good to view and visit places that you have never seen before. You see some places on television. But when you see it in person,you appreciate it more. I really enjoyed the experience. So anyone who has never been on a road trip,I highly advise you to do it. Going on a road trip can be a very good time to bond and have fun. Hopefully,I will do it again sometime -Maybe soon. And this time,I am going to stop and visit some places and bring a digital camera to take pictures and capture some beautiful images.

 

           

                              These pictures are similiar to the pictures that I took.

Ray- I knew it. I knew it. I knew it. Brother Ray something told me that you were going to say that-LOL. I was driving with my brother and he was trying to get to his next place so time was really against us. I apologize. I was too tired after every night to really blog. I will make sure that I at least call you when I am in Arkansas. Thanks for your comments.

Suzanne- Thank you Suzanne. It feels good to be back. It felt like I have been gone for a long time. Thanks for your comments.

Glad to have you back!  I did the drive from San Diego to upstate New York alone and will never do it again!  :)  At least you had some good company with you for the 3,000 + mile drive.

Jennifer -A lot of fun. Except for the hotel stay at one city. It kept me up all night. I will never stay in a smoking room ever again. Thank you for your comments.

Derrick-There is so much to see. Its amazing how you have lived life for so long and have yet to see or do certain things. Thank you for your comments.

Naoma-Thanks Naoma. It feels good to be back. From San Diego,CA to New York,that was a very long trip. How many days did that take you? Thanks for your comments.

Lanre: Nothing close to yours, but it was great to learn something new about my friends. We really talked about childhood and how that affected us. We were in our mid-20's at the time.

Tara -Me and my brother played a game that he said he plays with his friends. Its called Movie triiva? I forgot the name of the game. But you have to name a actor and a movie they were in. You have to name another actor in the same movie there were in. If you dont know the actor,you can challenge them. If they pick an actor and they dont know the movie that they were in,you get a point. Example

Will Smith - Enemy of the State

Gene Hackman ( He was in the "Enemy of the State" )-Space Cowboys.

Morgan Freeman ( He was in "Space Cowboys" )-Million Dollar Baby.

Hillary Swank ( She was in "Million Dollar Baby")-The Black Dahila.

You keep going until you can't think of an actor in a particular movie. If you dont know the actor,you say "I challenge you". You must know the actor and movie they played in. If you don't,you lose a point. The first person to win three games win. Sorry it took long to explain it. I wanted to explain the movie. Great post.

Liz- After reading a post by Darleen McClueen,I am definitely going to take my time to smell the roses. I had to do it for him. He is such a great person. I know you would've did it for a family member too. You are too nice. Thanks for your comments.

Dee - Dee Dee. Do people call you that? IYour road trip involve clients - Your funny. I am definitely going to do that next time. Thanks for your comments.
