Napanee Here We Come

          Once upon in an old graveyard oooooh oooooh ooooooh...no no graveyard, just a wonderful trip to Napanee for a wedding. This was a long trip, it was like 5-9 hours long on the road just no get to a hotel to sleep then drive for 2-3 more hours to get to the destination the wedding was at. We would have like snacks, like chips to eat on the way up. We also had a cooler filled with pop and sandwiches to eat also on the way up. We had to get everything ready and packed before we left the first day. We had brought cards and music and such to keep us occupied for then long drive up to Napanee. The season was summer so it was really hot. We were very stuffy in that vehicle. We had all of my family in the vehicle, plus luggage for the the hotel, and suits for the guys, the vehicle was full enough that if you were to move you would hit something, or someone. On thing I love to do on an adventure like this is look out the window. I like to see scenery. I would look outside and would see walls and walls of rock. Some rock was sparkly, some were wet, some rocks were big some other rocks were small. The colours varied from red roans, to browns, whites, silvers and maybe the occasional blue rock, or green rock, always with a hint of glitter that helped the overall appearance. The roads looked souless. The colour was a black that seemed like it had no happiness in a long time, not even the sunny happy yellow line could make it look alive like it had a soul, the black was just dark and filled with sadness.  The feeling of the movement created when the tires touched the road in a symphony of driving was relaxing. I could close my eyes and feel the serenity that they made, they were made to be together, but the road still screamed in darkness, even with the serenity the tires created. The vehicle was enjoying the breeze on his face, and the friendly engines zooming by with a happy, welcoming tone to them.
