my parents have been planning this road trip to various national parks in the southwestern us for about a month now. the same time, my sister and i haven't been all to enthusiastic about going. apparently, this trip is their method of getting us 'out of the house' so we get to spend a week away from home. thankfully, hotels provide internet access, so i guess i wont be totally cut off from the rest of the world.
today was quite a boring day. after loading up the car around 9 in the morning, we left around 10. after that, it was 10 hours of traveling on the road with breaks only for meals and to go to the bathroom. the most interesting part of the traveling was the fact that my dad made me drive for like two hours of it, so at least i had something to do aside from stare at the rural scenery with plenty of farms that are dead in the winter. driving around las vegas was somewhat interesting. the last time my family visited had been several years back, and my parents were amazed at the number of new hotels/casinos that have popped up since then.
what amuses me is the fact that my mom has commented on my relatively light clothing the entire day. even after repeatedly telling her that i'm already accustomed to cold weather (and seriously, its like 10 degrees colder at school) she still insists that i should put on more than a light jacket.
perhaps tomorrow will be a bit more interesting, though i have no idea what to expect from a visit to death valley.
