Long Drive

Right once the bell rung, me and Kate looked at each other and ran straight for the car! We got yelled at to slow down but we didn't because we were ecstatic! We hopped into the car and went to McDonald's because we wanted to get some food before the long drive. We already had all of our stuff in the car for Maine! We decided to just go through the drive-thru just to not waste any time. I got some nuggets and fries and Kate got a Big Mac with extra sauce.

We ate our food in the car and started to settle in for this 19 hour long drive. We talked about what we wanted to do for the trip and what we wanted to do for food.

"So for food, I was thinking, maybe everyday to every other day we could go out to lunch or dinner. It will save us more space and we get to experience the restaurants in Maine!"

"Yeah! That would be great! And the times we don't eat out we could get stuff that is familiar to us. Like sandwiches and just normal stuff we eat at home," I said.

"Yes, that will work out perfectly," Kate exclaimed. "We are supposed to be by a lake so we could go fishing and swimming! There is so many things I want to do here!"

"Same! I wish AJ was able to come through," I said knowing why he couldn't come. All because his parents knew that there would be two girls and no adult supervision. His parents are kind of strict, even though he is 18 now, his parents still won't let him have that much freedom.

"Yeah same here, maybe we could plan another trip in the future with him," said Kate. "Once he gets out of that house though," Kate said under her breath.

Kate put on some music as we entered the highway that we would be on for hours. I went on my phone for a bit before I started to get car sick so then I decided to take a nap. Kate and I have agreed that she drove to the hotel we would be staying the night at and I would drive the rest. The hotel was about a halfway point so it was fair.

I woke up about 3 hours later to Kate waking me up to get food. This time we were at a Wendy's restaurant. Kate wanted to go inside to stretch her legs and I was all for getting out of the car for 30 minutes. I'm quite a picky eater so I got nuggets again and Kate got a salad. She told me when we were walking in that she really was craving a salad.

After about 30 minutes, we went back in the car. I was starting to get sick of being in this car. But for the rest of the way we just listened to Kate's music.

Then we finally arrived at the hotel at 12:53 am. We checked in and went straight to bed.

The next morning, Kate woke up first to hop in the shower while I got breakfast. I got some thin pancakes with mixed fruit. Fruit is probably one of my favorite foods just because it's sweet and juicy.

Once Kate got out of the shower then I hopped in. I used my travel shampoo and conditioner I had prepared for this trip. I realized I forgot body wash so I just had to use some of the hotel. I had to take a quick shower so we could get back on the road soon. Once I stepped out of the shower, I threw on my clothes and dried my hair. We packed up all of our stuff and headed on the roads again.

This time I was driving so I put on a podcast to help the time go by. We listened to a few different podcasts and then we turned on music until we reached another fast food place for lunch. This time we were at Chick-Fil-A, both of us got a chicken sandwich. We quickly ate our food and hopped in the car to get back on the road.
