Without the need to book a flight or coordinate other transportation, it’s easy to rely on spontaneity for a last-minute escape once the weather warms up. The beauty of a road trip is its structured freedom: you can do anything you want, just as long as you are willing and able to drive.
As I write this, 7 inches of snow are coming down. The hubby has cleared the walk and stairs enough to refill the birdfeeder, but we’ll wait until the morning to clear our 400-foot driveway.

The humpback whale gently surfaced a mere 30 feet in front of our Zodiac gently rocking the boat and a nearby bergy bit of ice.
