Road Trip Recap
I didn’t really want to leave you guys out another day. I don’t really share a lot of my non car related life. So today I want to just share a few pics from the trip we took.
We hit the road around 1:30am Thursday. Stopping only for fuel, coffee, and the inevitable bathroom break.. We rolled into Munster,IN about 2:30 central time. That is about 14 hours of travel time. We spent the night in IN, and enjoyed a few brews at 3Floyds brewing.
The next two days were jam packed with visiting as many friends and family as possible. We didn’t do everything that we wanted to. We didn’t get to see all the people that we wanted. Over all it was great to see the people we did. The far and away high point was seeing our cousin Mag. She has spend the better part of the last 2 years fighting the “C” word. She looked amazing! We chatted all through lunch about this and that. I even got to share some gardening tips with her. Just being around such an amazing person really does warm your heart. I am so proud to know her, and call her family. Congrats to you Mags, you are a hero!
Much like the trip out, we got rolling about 2:30am. The trip home is always worse than the trip out. I need to give a shout out to my wife. She pulled about 3 hours of driving time. That is huge for her.
The Passat did great. Not one hiccup or anything. Here is a run down of the stats
- Overall MPG 26.9
- Miles Driven 1893.3
- Fuel fill ups 7
- Average speed 69.1(that was on the return trip)
I like to think that all that prepping really helped! Here are some pictures of our trip. I almost forgot. We did get to see some of that meter shower. I couldn’t get any cool pictures, but it was really neat.
Glad you guys had a good trip. For my part, I can’t even tell you how awesome it was to see you two.
I was thinking “wow Charles, your going all personal on this one” (not in a bad way) an then BOOM ya threw in the stats hahaha.
No but seriously I know the feeling. Every time I get to see my upstate fam it’s never enough time. The in-laws are a different story 😉
HA, yeah, I needed to put some stats in. I wish we had more time to see all the people that we didn’t.
