road trips
• 17 comments •
Driving is unequivocally my favourite way to travel. You just throw all your stuff in your car and go. No security, no weight restrictions on luggage, no crying babies... you can play your music loudly, bring all the liquids you want, roll down the window if it gets too stuffy, and when your legs get cramped you just hop out of the car and run around. The only negatives that I can think of is dealing with border agents (I always get nervous for absolutely no reason and sometimes slightly annoyed by the vaguely racist questions) and maybe toll highways. But still, I wish I could drive everywhere.
The short road trips we took this summer were the best and I'm crossing my fingers for one more before the snow falls (Maine? Massachusetts? New Brunswick? So many choices). Have you guys been to any of those places? Have any recommendations?
These photos were taken on the drive back to Montreal from Bleu Lavande. Finding random and strange things along the way is always amusing... like this house:
I got out of the car and poked around to see what it was all about (so nosy). Turns out it's some sort of haunted house but unfortunately it was closed. Also, it's for sale! Here's the listing. You can have your very own cauldron in the front yard, gargoyles on your stoop, and a tennis court in the back yard. C'est bizarre.

Boston perhaps?
ReplyDeleteChristine - Boston is pretty high on our list!
ReplyDeleteRoute 100 in Vermont is beautiful. Take in the rural New England villages in the fall. Then if you have time you could easily get back on a main road (outside VT ha!) and head to Boston. Also the area around Mt Washington in New Hampshire is nice. And Burlington/Waterbury/Stowe VT.
ReplyDeleteI second both previous comments. Route 100 in VT is my absolute favorite. (specifically Queechee and Woodstock.) And of course you should visit Boston, too!!
ReplyDeleteNo recommendations as I have never been that far east, however I agree that there is nothing better than a wonderful road trip. Travel on my friends.
ReplyDeleteJust curious regarding the name of your blog.... but do you actually send postcards? :)
ReplyDeletelovely shots, i love love love roadtrips!! i loved boston! you should go!! x
ReplyDeleteI agree, driving, country roads, surrounded by music, is pure pleasure, many times much better than the destination itself :-)
ReplyDeleteMichelle - It's from a lyric in the song 'Two of Us' by The Beatles. We did actually send postcards when we were traveling long term... but not so much anymore.
ReplyDeleteRoadtrips are really exciting. You get to see so much of the world you can't see when you fly over it! Thanks for sharing:)
ReplyDeleteLove the pictures, as usual. My favorites are the 3rd and last ones. :) Also, the blog re-design looks great! very clean.
ReplyDeleteyour pictures are always so gorgeous!
ReplyDeleteI've only been to Philadelphia and NYC in the East, so I'm not much of a help. :/ I love the photo of just the grass/field and the sky. everything is so BLUE and so GREEN. And the border patrol thing? Definitely with you on that one. My friends and I took a road trip from Indiana and up into Canada (through Toronto and Niagara Falls) and had a terrible time trying to get back INTO the States. It was not enjoyable.
ReplyDeleteYour photographs are magical!
ReplyDeleteRoad trips are the best! I'm all about this haunted house. Creepy and cool at the same time!
ReplyDeleteYou should definetly go to Portland, Maine it's such a nice city and we stopped there at our latest road trip troughout Quebec and Maine. Our la MAlbaie is a beautiful place to visit as well!
ReplyDeleteYes! I love roadtrips and driving so much! I honestly laugh the entire time for the reason of just being on one because they're so awesome.
