have you watched the cities move?

Back from the wilds! Of car camping, admittedly, but when you're juggling old, broken-down tents, two small children, and a dog, car camping is wild enough! Still, this morning when we were all sitting around, mellow with the early chill, sipping hot drinks while the kids amused themselves with all the dirt and bugs to discover, I wished we could stay for a few more days.

Day 16: Five songs you’d definitely play on a road trip
What perfect timing that this should accompany my return from a mini road trip:

"Play Something Sweet (Brickyard Blues)" - Three Dog Night
Because a road trip just isn't complete without Three Dog Night.
"Buildings & Mountains" - The Republic Tigers
A rolling, smooth-moving song for those long, open stretches of highway.
"Oh No You Didn't" - Wojahn Bros Music
Because a road trip needs a funny song to sing along to.
"Locomotive Breath" - Jethro Tull
Fast-paced and churning for those high-volume traffic times...and for when you want to kill the stupid drivers around you.
"Ventura Highway" - America
Because you need at least one song about The Road.

This was a lot easier than choosing my soundtrack songs. I think I must spend too much time behind the wheel....

Love Song: The Republic Tigers - Buildings & Mountains

I just went camping a few weeks ago! I love the early morning, outdoor lounging with a warm cup of something. One of the best parts of camping. Maybe only topped by late night campfire sitting and s'more making. I've never gone camping with small children, which sounds intimidating. We had four dogs and that seemed quite the handful.

I love the late night campfire sitting and s'more-making as well. It's such a cozy, comfortable bit of togetherness. And I don't envy you four dogs! That may not be quite as bad as children, but only because you can put dogs on leashes. In every other respect, they're probably just as much work!

The only song I know from your list is "Locomotive Breath" (which I really like); I look forward to listening to the other songs!

I used to love when "Locomotive Breath" would come on the radio as I was driving down to my college at the beginning of the year. I'd turn it up loud and let the rhythm carry me through the packed, high-speed traffic. I only wish they played it more often where I live now.
