ROAD TRIP MUST's!

image by me!

so the fireman, the frenchie, and i are in the absolutely stunning Mammoth Mountains right now! we are having a blast so far. one of my favorite things about driving up to Mammoth (which is about a 5-7 hour drive) is the roadtrip part of the trip. i love waking up early enough for it to feel like not your usual early morning and bring all my favorite roadtrip goodies in the car with me! we are here in Mammoth with a bunch of our fireman friends (a ladies dream come true) which comes with a bunch of man jokes, unusual smells, and lots of beer. like i said... a dream come true. ha! but i love it... they're pretty funny.

here are a few things that i love about roadtriping...

1. waking up when it's dark outside

2. meeting at our local Pete's & Noah's bagel (bagels are guilt-free on roadtrips!)
3.  colorful socks

4. Pandora's: Drive Soundtrack, Florance + the Machine, Notorious BIG, Jenny Lewis, and Air Radio

5. having a sleepy frenchie on my lap for hours n hours

6. wearing a beaning, sunnies, and cozy pants... so cozy.

7. snacks: goldfish, apple slices n peanut butter, think thin bars, aussie licorice, peanut butter pretzels

8. telling stories & laughing a lot

9. knitting (it's my thing, i love it.)

10. stopping at local gas stations & buying super rad (kinda weird) souvenirs 

11. Schat's Bakery
12. lot's of coffee stops.........

.... and those are a few of my favorite roadtrip things!

what are yours?
