I first saw this video about a year ago and thought to myself, "That would be so much fun!" But then, like I do all too often, I never really pursued it because there are so many practical, real-life things I have to do that crowd out this kind of stuff.
Sometime within the last year, I also realized that I really NEED an occasional break from practical, real-life. There is never going to be a break in all that I need to do. I'm not really a "high need for adventure" kind of guy, but sometimes I get so busy with practical, real-life that that I really stop enjoying life.
Well, enough with the philosophical ramblings. I saw this video today, talked it over with Brooke and Amanda and I so excited that the Hurt family is going to take on the adventure of visiting all the Texas cities/places listed in this song. We're going to take pictures, update this blog and eventually make our own movie. As Brooke pointed out, it will probably take us a few years to complete, but who cares. What GREAT memories Amanda will have in high school of us taking day trips when there is no school, or longer road trips during Spring Break, etc.
It's not traveling the world, but it's something we can do as a family that will be fun, will make memories and will make for an awesome scrapbook.
So let the adventure begin!
No, we are not going to try the whole thing on the motorcycle. For one thing, it is going to be a family thing. Secondly, I don't think Brooke or Amanda would be up to the longer rides on the bike. I'm sure we will catch some on the motorcycle though...solo day trips or short rides with Brooke or Amanda.
