On the eve of our road trip to West Virginia I am reminded of the same feeling three years ago when we were packing up to head out west to Washington. We will be driving from Georgia to West Virginia tomorrow and though the mileage is significantly less it will be a fun adventure non the less. In an era where faster is better and the convenience of flying gives us extra time to spend in places, it is also nice to take the time to drive around the country.
When we drove from Memphis to Seattle, we did it in four days. In retrospect, we wish we had the time to spend at more places along the way but we were still able to absorb the beauty of our surroundings. The vast landscapes in Iowa, beautiful mountains in Utah, Wyoming's rock formations and wild horses (to our delight). Water cascading down rocky hillsides and amazing mountain scenery as we drove up the Oregon coast.
This time, our travels will take us through eastern Tennessee and on through the Appalachian mountains to our new home in Morgantown, WV.
I look forward to this trip.
As nice as it is to fly, I will admit I much prefer driving. There is no other way you can appreciate God's beauty in creating this stunning landscape than driving.
