Road Trip 2

Needless to say, the last road trip went exceedingly well.  We drove to Spokane Washington, spent 2 days and drove back, stopping off in Portland, Oregon.  I went without any meds except 1/2 pain pill on the trip back.  Too much inactivity.   The next day was great though.  As though I had not spent 4 of the previous 6 days on the road, in a car.  This was excellent news!!

So.  Two weeks later, my bride wanted to drive to see her father.  He lives 450 miles away in Sothern California.  So we packed up Eloise Renee and left Friday at 3pm.  We pulled into our hotel at around 11pm.

Dee had breakfast ready for us on Saturday morning.  We spent the morning there, went out for lunch and had dinner with Dee at his home.  We left our hotel Sunday morning at around 9am and pulled into our driveway around 5pm.  Again, I took 1/2 pain pill on the trip back, really before it was truly needed, but was glad that I had when we stopped.

Now, Monday morning, I can’t tell that the weekend was spent in a car.  This is compared to not being able to sit in a car for 2 hours without spending the next day or two tanked with pain medications, muscle relaxers and sleep aids!!

Oh, and Dee has started the Seven Day Challenge.  I’ll post his reactions in a week or so.
