Asked by [personal profile] author_by_night: Have you ever been on a summer road trip? If not, would you ever want to go on a road trip?

I've definitely been on summer road trips, mainly when I was younger. One big one that I remember (that we have home video of) is traveling across the country to visit my aunts and uncles. It took quite a long time to get there, perhaps a week? Aside from that, I've gone on some road trips since then that aren't as long, not always during the summer. I think the last one was to Los Angeles, which took roughly the whole day to get there.

Road trips are interesting because it really depends on who you're traveling with and how things are planned out, and how one can handle sitting in a moving vehicle for hours at a time if you didn't bring something with you to keep you entertained. It can be merely exhausting just sitting for hours at a time, and, because I live in America, while there are some interesting sights to see especially once you get to places you're unfamiliar with there are also prolonged periods of time where it's just a long stretch of road with nothing to see, that you'll be relieved once you see something like a rural area or a field and other pieces of nature and not just road and other vehicles. Plus there is also something really special about rest stops, those areas in the middle of nowhere.

I also think there's something about rest stops, and the middle-of-nowhere areas in general.

Road trips are something quintessentially American to me. I feel like they are too romanticized in fiction (including fanfiction) though. I imagine for most people it is probably a long boring drive to visit relatives.
