A few weekends ago I made my way to Carlsisle Pennsylvania. What might make me head all the way out east? Well Rachel lives in Carlsisle. Now i’m sure you’re thinking, “But TJ, your title says ‘On Roadtrips’ surely you didn’t drive all the way to Pennsylvania in one weekend?!” Oh, but I did!
Above you can see the route I took (both to and from Pennsylvania). The trip went pretty well. I was caught in a trafic jam outside of Columbus and I was caught in a speed trap in Pennsylvania on the way back but other then that the driving was pretty good. I only had one class on Friday and I worked ahead and did all my weekend work and took off early Friday morning.
Rachel and I just spent a leusurely Saturday and I took off Sunday morning back for Iowa. A bit nuts but well worth it.
I’d been wanting to expand on this but I decided that I’d probably never get to posting if I didn’t do it now. Considering I’m flying out there tomorrow I figured I’d get this out on the intarwebs.

I did that once in a van with six other people and it was pretty much awful. Ohio. Ohio was the worst. Except for western Pennsylvania. And central Pennsylvania. Really everything between Iowa and New Jersey was eye-numbingly dull and I don’t recommend doing it ever and kudos to you for flying this time.

That… is… awesome.
I am a full advocate for roadtripping, even when crazy.
