How to Survive Life in the Suburbs

Do You Know Where I Am?

in Everyday, Travel on 03/03/12

What time is it where you are?  Are you comfy on a couch with a laptop beside you and a big old coffee in your hand?  Well prepare to be all kinds of jealous, because by the time you read this I should be about 12 hours into my 22 hour trek to FLORIDA!!  Bwhaha  I wonder how many times I’ve heard “Are we there yet?”

We, hired the house sitter, packed up the family and fled the country.  Thanks to the incredibly wonderful people of Chevrolet, we are Traversing (pun totally intended) across the country in search of the sun in one of these…. 

GMTraverse

A Traverse!  Squee!  Oh so pretty and room for eight!  This little baby is sure to make our drive a great experience…um did I mention it has built in DVD Players and Sirius radio?  Sanity savers!

My plan for the next two weeks or so….

Play with my babies, laugh with my friends, celebrate with my Hubby.  Yes, celebrate every little thing.  I intend to bask in the sun, read some books and drink just a little too much in the hot tub.  I’m leaving my worries behind and hope to come back with some fabulously blog worthy stories! 

In the next couple of weeks I might re-play a fave post or two, I have one fabulous guest poster, and I may even pop by with an original story.  If I don’t pop by your blog, it’s because I’m working on my tan!

Missing me terribly?  You can always check in with me as I #EscapeTheSuburbs on twitter;  I’m @SassyModernMom !

Don’t have too much fun without me!

      I looked at the vehicle and thought, “That looks small.” Then I clicked on it and it got longer. lol
      The wonders of technology.

      Anyway, ENJOY! You’ve been away recently, haven’t you? Lucky girl. 🙂

      I’m green with envy because not only are you in search of perfect weather, but you’re test driving that amazing vehicle!

      I just cranked the heat in our house to 80 degrees and stood in the sunny window, pretending I was riding with you in that fabulous Traverse.

      It didn’t work.

      Enjoy!!!

      So funny because I literally am, at this moment, comfy on the couch with a big coffee- kids are still asleep and everything! Haha. Anyway, have a great trip! It would be heavenly to be outdoors somewhere warm and beautiful right now.
