Your mom was amazing. And adventurous.

I never did anything quite like that with my two when they were young. We went on various long driving trips which I loved doing. I had the privilege of being a stay at home mom, so I could head out with them on school breaks. I'm so glad I was able to do that. But two months of going around the entire country, nothing tops that.

One down side to attempting to repeat that trip is that there are a lot of places Greyhound no longer goes to, like Taos.

I swear, I think the crazy driving is the result of too few cops janx May 2018 #17
