This post may seem to some of you like an episode of How I Met Your Mother… I’m going to tell you a story.
It all started when Ami and I were texting on a Saturday. Neither of us was busy, and I think we were talking about how gorgeous libraries can be, with so many old books, many of them still in pristine condition. Eventually it got to the point that we were talking about visiting them and how fun that’d be. I suggested a road trip and the idea immediately caught on.
We started scheming and planning and listing things we’d like to do on the proposed highway excursion. The list grew with the addition of a quest for an antique typewriter, picking through thrift stores across the country, and experiencing the United States’ many attractions. We decided this was going to be a hefty trip, so we allowed ourselves a hefty time period: we gave ourselves three years to prepare and a year to go on the trip.
We started a list. It wasn’t enough. We began to fill a composition book with our ideas and the destinations we plan to visit. We wrote all the things we’d like to do and see and sure enough, we continue to find things we want to do. So far, all we’ve got is plans, but after hard work and three years of penny-pinching, we hope to see the best of our country.
So that’s our story. Just two girls and a conversation. Funny, how a simple idea could spawn into something so real.
That’s all for now, my bunny dumplings of internetopia.
