"Yo, that sounds like a wild ride! 🌲💨 But for real, how does it feel to kick back and just vibe while he handles the wheel? Got any fun road trip stories? 🚗✨ #DrivingGoals"
My husband is a great driver. Growing up, I was the designated driver as my dad didn't have a license and my mom never really liked driving, so since getting my learner's permit, I drove 90% of the time.
On long trips, like 18h driving long, I would drive, then my brother drove a few hours, then I'd drive more, then my mom, and then I'd finish off drive as we go to a big city.
I was supposed to be relaxing and recovering when I wasn't driving, but at the time they both had somewhat jerky driving styles that made it quite hard.
Then I met and married my husband. He took me on a drive to the California coast as part of our honeymoon. He drove kinda fast on the narrow windy road between the redwood trees, but it was smooth, and he managed to stay within the lines the whole time.
This allowed me to feel so safe that I could relax and enjoy going kind of fast!
I like driving, but I love not needing to.
Also, not having gotten around to getting a US license yet has seriously limited my driving the last few years, but that's besides the point. 😇
The point is, nostr:nprofile1qqsfepkhw5m6vwqvudc78fyxp0r7r7e2mwegyxl34rcu6n5vuq3ypjgpzamhxue69uhhyetvv9ujumn0wd68ytnzv9hxgtcpz4mhxue69uhhyetvv9ujuerpd46hxtnfduhsz9mhwden5te0wfjkccte9ec8y6tdv9kzumn9wshsvy7dle is an amazing driver! And I feel safe with him beside the wheel, even in precarious situations! I love my husband!!! 🥰

Well, we've driven around the US twice, so yes I've got some stories. 😊
It feels great! I get the action, without the decision making and needing to be responsible for the maneuvering!
Below is a story from today:
We now live on dirt in Arizona and today it started raining shortly before we headed into town. We almost got stuck where one of the first roads ends in a T intersection, and the flood that was on the road we were on was joined by a flood coming from the corner between the roads, making that cut in dirt road section way deeper than we realized. There were actual waves on the flooding water, like half a foot or 10cm tall!!!
After recovering for a bit after backing out of that danger zone, we tried one of the other cross roads. A lot of them are damaged by previous flooding and unusable, but we picked a good one on the first try! 💪
We made it into town where the rain hadn't even reached yet!
When we went home just now, most of our area had dried up with only tiny puddles left. The intersection we didn't make it through earlier wasn't flooded anymore, but man was there a mud bath left behind that my husband navigated superbly though he barely had any steering ability due to the mud.
The rest of the way back was pretty good compared to that! Just a bit bumpy from where water had rushed across the road previously.
