Montana Outback

March 24th, 2009

Whenever I drive my Subaru, I feel like I am in Montana. I purchased the car in Montana while I was a student at college in Minnesota. I spent most of my breaks driving home through North Dakota into the great state of Montana. I lived in Montana for 18 months while driving the Subaru through the beautiful mountains and snow of Gallatin Valley. I then drove the Subaru through North Dakota once again to reside in Minnesota for a year before we landed in Connecticut. And yet…the Subaru still reminds me of home.

Yes, mom, I am calling Montana my home.

Hello, Ohio

August 10th, 2008

As most of you know, we recently just returned from our big summer trip. We we were home about 8 days in July. Together, we drove through 15 states and flew from airports in 5 different states. I attended 2 weddings and 1 family reunion. 

The post is titled after my favorite state to drive through. Ohio has it down. Yes, you pay for tolls, but they spend their money wisely on the travel plaza stops. If the Panera, Starbucks, Pizza hut, Burger King did not statisfy me, I could wait until the next stop and get what I wanted there. It was great. Sometimes, I daydream about visiting places that require me to drive through Ohio. That’s a good vacation. 

As for states I like to stop in, I’m still partial to Montana.
