Don’t look now, but before you know it, your kids will be back at school and the summer vacation will be over. It really goes fast. There would be no better way to celebrate this summer season by leaving your workstation behind and taking the family on a road trip. Before flying became the way to travel, road trips were the way most Americans got from point A to point B. The great thing about road trips is that you don't have to book them in advance, you simply hop in your vehicle and go. You don't even really need to have an immediate destination. Groovy Automotive, your auto repair service in Austin, offers these fabulous reasons you need to gather up the family and head out on a road trip.
Try Something New Chances are you are in a rut right now. You wake up at 5:30 am five days a week, shower, suck down a cup of coffee and head to work. You then sit at your desk for the next eight to 10 hours mindlessly staring at a computer monitor, perhaps even two of them should you be so lucky. You will leave work and sit in traffic for an hour before finally getting home to enjoy a plate of leftover lasagna. This is followed up by two hours of binge-watching some Netflix original series and then off to bed. Alright, it might not be that bad, but you are in a rut nevertheless and need an adventure only a road trip can provide. Self-Reflection There will be plenty of opportunities on your road trip to reflect on who you are and where you want to be in the near future. You have been lost in the hustle and bustle of daily life for so long you aren’t quite sure just who you are anymore. There is nothing quite like a long drive on the open road to clear your mind. Hype-Free Dining Road trips are the perfect opportunity to bypass Applebee’s and opt instead for mom and pop places and greasy diners filled with truckers. The America that you travel will reveal incredible people who create great food without all of the fanfare. Low Anxiety We don’t know about you, but airports and planes give us anxiety. We might be considered a nutcase, but we hate flying. Our anxiety level goes up just booking a flight. We also have this recurring nightmare that we have an unpleasant experience at security followed up by an anxiety attack while the plane is preparing to take off. Bond with Family Spending hours together in a confined space really encourages people to talk to each other. You might find out things about your kids you previously knew nothing about. You might even learn a few new things about your spouse. In any case, a road trip is a great way to talk about more than just how your day is going and what is happening at work or school. It Encourages Spontaneity When you travel by plane, you are restricted by a very rigid schedule. You have to leave at a certain time to get to the airport and through security on time. You must board your plane at this time and you must be at the shuttle stop by this certain time. When you take a road trip, leave your watch at home because you are in charge of your own schedule. If you want to spend a little more time at a particular location, go for it as you are not restricted by a schedule that cannot be changed. You Meet Real People We live much of our lives in the online world. You meet all sorts of people through the digital airwaves who you will never see in person. The only people you see on a daily basis are coworkers and your weird neighbor. That is no way to go through life. A road trip will enable you to meet new people, like-minded people who are on an adventure as well. Creating Memories Road trips are full of discovery and adventure and you will take home memories that will last a lifetime. Before you go on your road trip, visit Groovy Automotive for a tune-up.
