Last weekend me and b.rothwell packed up and went driving. Our first stop was baltimore, maryland where we navigated (via ben's droid phone) to a tiny, quaint bar/venue for a miraculous dave barnes show. After sitting on bar stools and soaking in the musical goodness for three hours (and then meeting him!) we then continued our journey to pheonixville, pennsylvania for ben's best friend's college graduation.
here are some of my most favorite parts:
1. our competition.
2. our 'road trip' playlist...with all the good stuff.
3. all our pee stops where ben would visit the bathroom and I would wait in the car. (maybe I should be concerned that I don't pee enough?)
4. being thrifty by packing homemade sub sandwiches for the drive.
5. "I Have And Always Will" on the acoustic guitar embraced by the crowd's absolute stillness. Even the asians behind us stopped jabbering over their drinks long enough to witness the beauty, emotion, and delivery of this song.
6. Dave's obvious passion as he used about 10 minutes of his set to talk about the mocha club.
7. Steve moak's cover of miley cyrus mixed with don mclean.
8. Ben's constant attempts at earning "sweetie" stars...and his unwillingness to relinquish any stars to his poor girlfriend. Even when I begged, he would shrug and say, 'it's competition, baby'....a true testament to our relationship.
9. visiting "love park" in Philadelphia.
10. having ben wake me up each morning.
11. bringing books, magazines, etc. to pass the time in the car, but instead being content just to put the seat back, listen to music, and hold my boyfriend's hand.
12. chipotle pitstop, causing the GPS to redirect us using the scenic route. (only good things come from eating chipotle).
13. my new floral sundress and white coat -- compliments of the boyfriend.
14. antique jewelry shopping in the cute little downtown area.
15. learning an intense (yet entertaining/addicting) card game...and beating ben. :)
everything is beautiful
cotton fields,
the open road
the radio plays a song
we both know we don't sing along
