The Trip to Rugby
Oct. 24th, 2005 06:55 pmOn Saturday morning, hubby and I rose early, showered, packed and loaded up the cats' food and water. We got in the car and headed out on our adventure! Instead of our usual McDonald's breakfast (a tradition for us whenever we start out on a road trip), we stopped at Jack In the Box for one of their Ciabatta Breakfast sandwiches. Oh. My. God. For several minutes, there was nothing but yummy noises coming from both hubby and me. That sandwich is a heart-attack on Ciabatta bread, but it was sooo good.
So, we got onto the interstate and made our way to Rugby. What a crazy ride THAT was. The road was kind of crowded, but there were quite a few entitled assholes who thought they had to "get ahead" of everyone else and did so by weaving dangerously in and out of traffic. Hubby and I just shook our heads and hoped they got caught by the cops before they crashed.
It didn't take as long to get there as we thought it might, so a couple of hours later, we arrived in Historic Rugby.

( My account of our trip including lots of pictures. Dial up friends, you have been warned! )
I would like to encourage all of you reading this to take the road less travelled by as often as you can. We had the best time, just talking, laughing, oohhing and ahhing over the scenery all the way home. The time went by so fast, it seemed like before we knew it we were back in familiar territory. And we didn't have any of the stress or headaches that sometimes come from travelling on the interstates because there were no idiots on the road we were on. We travelled through several small towns and saw some awesome homes and beautiful landscapes. I highly recommend it!
Well, that's basically it. When we got to Lebanon, we stopped by our pub for a drink and a snack before heading home. The kitties were glad to see us! I told hubby we have to stop being lazy and do the whole weekend trip again. The entire thing, including gas, admission, food and souvineers cost less than a hundred dollars. Well worth it. This was the best anniversary yet. I can't wait for next year!
