Willie Nelson's In My Head - Nancy's Thoughts

For the past week I've been hearing Willie sing  "On the road again -just can't wait to get on the road again..."  The song brings back memories - back to our first road trip in 1969 - mostly in California- my first time!  I was in awe...Laguna Beach, tacos, Hollywood, a drive up the coast, and San Francisco!  THEN a visit to my first casino in Reno.  When I put the second coin in the slot machine - it lit up and made lots of noise.  I won the jackpot! 

Luck has continued giving us the time to travel throughout the US.  Our longest trip was in 1988- the year both Molly and Peter went off to college and we went off on a four month trip in our RV - Parnassus on Wheels (pictured above) - named after one of my favorite books.  Parnassus stayed with us for a few years as we explored more of the US.  So many memories - sunrise in Monument Valley, Texas bluebonnets, picking blackberries in the San Juan Islands, climbing the lighthouses in the Outer Banks, the view from Cadillac Mt., the bats flying out of Carlsbad Caverns, walking in the Redwoods, Pike's Peak,, and the list could go on and on.

So we are going on the road again -going places that we've never been and seeing things we may never see again. - the best of friends - on the road again.
