Ideas of Mind: RoadTrip: Final Thoughts

These will just be some notes about the trip that I want to remember.

We listened to a bunch of songs on Spotify as in some places we just weren't going to be finding good radio stations. The songs we heard the most and became annoying were:

Rumor Has It by Adele
Payphone by Maroon 5
Home by Edward Sharpe and the Magnetic Zeros
Call Me Maybe by Carly Rae Jepsen
Somebody That I Used to Know by Gotye
Some Nights by Fun.

We also listened to CDs on my car's hard drive:

The Foundation by Zac Brown Band
Live at Albert Hall by The Killers
Mylo Xyloto by Coldplay

I decided that I could live in just about any place we stayed but would really love to live for some time in Boulder, San Francisco, Santa Fe, San Diego, and Jackson Hole.

As I start working to become a teacher, I hope I can look back on the hike in Capitol Reef National Park and reminisce on the moment I decided to actually start doing something with this thought of being a history teacher.

At the beginning of our planning for this trip, we discussed bringing Sophie with us but that would have been a huge mistake. It would have been great having her with us but it would have been a hassle whenever we wanted to do something where dogs were not allowed, like National Parks.

When we got back, people unsurprisingly asked what our favorite thing was. I still am not sure I can give one thing.

I loved Yosemite.
I loved all the surprises in Southern Utah.
I loved not knowing where exactly we were going to be staying the next night but planning out what we wanted to do and figuring it all out as we went.
I loved the Date Night Burger at Mountain Sun Brewery in Boulder.
I will always love the Tetons, Jackson Hole, and Togwotee.
I loved being able to visit old friends and family in their home towns.
I loved doing random things like going to the Rodeo or sleeping in a Teepee.
I really loved driving around the country with Megan on this adventure doing and seeing as much as we could, while smiling the whole time.
