I live in the country. I work in town. Between my home and my office, it’s more than 25 miles.

We might put more than 100 miles on the car in day if we have family activities that require some back and forth.

Time in the car isn’t wasted. We have engaging conversations or sing together. If I’m a passenger and it’s daytime, I can get a lot of crochet done! We make up stories about the things we see, like a lazy horse sunbathing or the summery fashion choices of college students when it’s 40 degrees out.

I like the feeling of motion.

When you’re in the car, instead of focusing on the arrival, make the car trip into a destination itself. Challenge yourself to make commute time a fun time!

These are some photos I’ve taken from the passenger seat of the car. See the whole set on Flickr
