This weekend my sister and I took a road trip down to Austin, Texas for the Girl Crush Tea Party (more on that tomorrow). We drove 6 hours down on a Friday morning and 6 hours back on Sunday. You would think being around each other 40+ hours during the work week and then again every Saturday at our parent's lake house would leave us with nothing left to say... but we spent our time on the road indulging in the undivided attention we had of each other. We snacked on wasabi peas and dried apples and had the kind of extended conversation only sisters with a lifetime together could have over a long stretch of I-35. We exchanged old stories retold from a new perspective, and shared new secrets and daydreams. Babies, business, travel, blogging, politics, parenting, feminism, food, and fashion... no stone was left unturned. We charged down the open road and mapped out where we're going next – fully aware that what's next didn't really matter when we had right now.
After more than 2 hours with my brothers I want to wring their necks. Good on you both for having a really close relationship!
ReplyDeleteRoad trips are my favorite. I'm still shocked when my husband and I drive for 12+ hours we have plenty to talk about.
ReplyDeleteFun stuff. I kind of want to move into that house. :)
