TRAVELS // A SOLO ROAD TRIP AND ITS PLAYLIST


Surprise! I'm taking another little trip this weekend.  This one is not quite as exciting as my jet-setting, beach-bumming vacation from last week.  Essentially, it's a trip to the Michigan Secretary of State's office to renew my driver's license.  Even still, I'm so so excited to see my family and spend some QT at home.  It's been since Christmas since I've seen my little sister (read: best friend).  How did time get away from us like that?

I've found that I do my best thinking on road trips.  There is just something about the stretch of Highway 31 that I drive for 4.5 hours to get home that always gets to me.  I need that time this weekend.  My schedule is getting crazy and overwhelming and scary.  I need to breathe.

For good measure, a playlist of some of my very favorite songs for solo road-trips.
