We had been home from our honeymoon just 2 weeks when we decided a road trip was in order :). Actually, we had this road trip planned since May, perhaps even earlier. It was my idea for a honeymoon - but since Mike was all gung-ho about Harry Potter World, it became our first vacation together (just the two of us) after the honeymoon :).
I love planning vacations and trying to make the most of every area we are in. So I researched our stops and planned an itinerary. The itineraries are very flexible. It just more provides options of things to do/see but also lots of time for relaxing. (I highlight the things that I really want to do.)
We left Thursday night, picked up the rental car, and took turns driving through the night. It was a beautiful night and the sunset was amazing. These photos were all taken with my iPhone 4S, while driving down the freeway, and holding it out the window (much to Mike's disapproval).
I was going to edit them to enhance the color but figured - meh, I like them the way the are :)
The sunset literally took up the whole sky, and each way we turned was a new and fabulous view of the colors and the landscape.
I honestly didn't know how much fun a road trip with Mike could be. We had been on lots of vacations before, but all with other people, because we weren't married yet. Just being the two of us with no real schedule (no flight to make, no strict agenda of sights that must be seen or places we must be), it was really nice. We talked and enjoyed the 24/7 partnership that we don't get at home because of work. And would you believe, we didn't get sick of each other - not once!?
