Good Company in a Journey Makes the Way Seem Shorter

Detroit in August + Vacation time for Max

August is almost here! My official annual lazy, ‘take it easy’ month. I will be spending a good portion of it in short-shorts road tripping through the Moab Desert.

Despite the fact that I cannot drive, the great American Road Trip is one of my biggest passions in life. I’m actually currently in driver’s ed for this exact reason! Between DC, Chicago, and NYC, I never needed a car, so I didn’t bother. But now that I have been developing this taste for the great outdoors, I’m motivated to get my liscense.

I bought an annual “America The Beautiful” national parks pass for my Moab trip. I could have gotten the day pass, but I decided to the commit the money to challenging myself to see as many national parks this year and next as possible.

So if I’m a good girl and get my driver’s liscense, then I get to go see as many natural wonders as I can fit in my calendar. That’s my logic anyway. Everyone should gamify their life a little

And, just for fun, here’s what I wore to see Barbenheimer💗 with a group of girlfriends. What do you think? As a former moody goth girl in high school, wearing all Barbie Pink was exhilarating.
