I left this morning for the first leg of my road trip to Denver. Atlanta to St. Louis. Google said it would take 9 1/2 hrs. Only took about 8 hrs. Sweet! Below are some highlights:
9am – first fast food purchase
10:27am – first coffee spill on my only white t-shirt
10:37am – first time I heard “You Belong with Me” by Taylor Swift
11:37am – received third message from Atlanta friend wishing me well
11:54am – second time I heard “You Belong with Me” by Taylor Swift
12:10pm – second fast food purchase
12:31pm – first rain storm begins (I almost had to pull over it was so bad)
2:15pm – second rain storm begins
2:53pm – third rain storm begins
3:10pm – snickers & diet coke purchase
3:35pm – fourth rain storm begins
4:12pm – third fucking time I heard “You Belong with Me” by Taylor Fucking Swift
5:15pm – arrive in St. Louis
Some photos from my iPhone (vintage look courtesy of Hipstamatic iPhone app)
- I'm off! Good ol' I-75 on the way to Chattanooga
- Downtown Nashville
- This was the second, lighter thunderstorm
- I remember this movie! With Orlando Bloom & Kirsten Dunst. It sucked.
- View from my St. Louis hotel room. Not too shabby for $89.95!
The Whole Package 
Thanks for the run down. I see your eating well, driving safely (while taking pictures–I am SO guilty of this myself), and rocking out to superb music! Still jealous of the miles you’re driving… Enjoy! x
Yeah, I love the solitude and knowing it’s only 3 days of driving is great too. Tomorrow is alllll prairieland!
