...road trip...
Yuk
If you read this journal often, and I know I do, you should know that I love roadtrips more than anything in the world. However, a road trip with my family is a WHOLE DIFFERENT STORY.
My Dad is a Worrywart. Every little bump and jostle is something wrong with the 4x4. If the glove compartment is stuck, all work halts until it is fixed. We must constantly be on guard to listen for his phone to ring, and are often "tested" to make sure we are. All this in a small space for 8 hours.
My Mom is a "I need it my way NOW" person. She wanted Church's Chicken. Not KFC. Not Golden Chick. Not Popeyes. Church's. We're nowhere near a Church's, and she pouts when we go to Dairy Queen...because DQs are all you have in towns with populations of seven.
My sister is non-sequitur girl. Eight hours of CONSTANT jabbering, and FORCING you to talk about what she wants, interrupting constantly and general annoyingness. ARGH
I HATE DRIVING WITH THEM.
Despite that, I had a fun LONG drive. San Antonio to Poteet to Pleasanton, to La Parita to Charlotte to Fowlerton to Los Angeles to Cuero. My Camino Real route South of San Antonio.
It's a good route...but I found almost NO Camino Real Markers. Of the 10 on this trip, I saw three. I need to double check those marker listings, as well as my route.
