On the road again

This week was spring break in Colorado and so me, my mom, and my friend all went down to Texas to visit my sister, brother-in-law, and my niece. We spent most of the time swimming, relaxing, watching TV, and playing with my niece. After a week of being away from home, it's time to head back home and almost time for school to start again. We have to drive for about seventeen hours to get from Beaumont, Texas, to get to Colorado.

While we were down in Texas, my dad was on a business trip in New Orleans, and then in Houston. Houston is about an hour away from Beaumont so after lunch today, we will be heading to Houston, picking up my dad and then driving home together. The drive back home is usually pretty easy unless it decides to snow in Colorado. There is a "blizzard" in Colorado and in some parts of Texas and New Mexico. There is supposed to be about sixteen to twenty-four inches of snow by the time we get home on Saturday. Hopefully we are able to get home sometime on Saturday without the delay of snow.

I am not really looking forward to the sixteen, seventeen hour drive home but i have plenty to do. I have to finish my math homework (who gives homework over spring break?!?), finish memorizing my lines for the Shakespeare festival my school is doing, and watch movies on the DVD player in my mom's car. Every time i go on a "road trip" with my family, i always think of a song from one of my favorite movies. "On the road again" from the movie Shrek. I love Donkey, he is so funny!

Well i have to go finish packing for the trip. Seventeen hours, Woohoo!
