Best Birthday Ever!Freedom Bike Trip

Being your own boss isn’t all it’s cracked up to be but this week, it was. I took the week off for my birthday and had the best time of my life. Since I am the boss, I only answer to me. In preparation for my time off I had to buy a few things, helmet, chaps, bandannas, and riding boots. Leather shopping is so much fun!

I took a bike trip across the US…a little over 2000 miles. I left my computer at home for this first time in years, only check my email every other day and put everything on hold. I didn’t work for 5 days. That is a lot for me. It was a little difficult after the 3rd day. I itched to get on the computer but alas, it wasn’t there so I had no choice but to enjoy myself,lol…

The trip started out in St. Louis and ended at my house in Las Vegas. I didn’t drive but seeing the scenic route from the back of a motorcycle was so amazing. I got a bunch of pictures but not until the 3rd day. I was having so much fun that I forgot I even had a camera with me.

I ended up getting some great shots but the camera doesn’t do the scenery any justice. It made me want to buy a panoramic camera…and a motorcycle. I had almost bought one when I lived in LA. I went to the Harley shop, sat on a few, picked one out and then took some time to think about it. Later the same week, I saw a horrible accident on the 405 freeway and decided not to buy the bike. Now, I want one again and it’s like a fever. It’s fun to ride on the back but I want to drive, control the throttle, feel the motor…maybe that would be a good Christmas present to myself.
