every few months my hubby and I travel to visit family in Pennsylvania. we also love to take short weekend trips together. we're continually looking for fun & exciting things to do while riding in the car together. the trips are usually long. the trips can be boring. sometimes we run into traffic. our sweet girl usually sleeps the entire time, which makes for a perfect time for us to chat with each other.
we have noticed that our extended car rides bring us closer together. we have had some of the most deep conversations while riding in the car. answering questions "from when do you want to have a baby?" to "where was your first kiss?" it's hard to escape or evade questions when there's no where to go! hah! we love turning the music up to spend hours singing & dancing {who am I kidding...I'm the one who does the dancing!}, but with a sleeping baby we don't do that much anymore! we sometimes get tired of the same old "I spy" & license plate games, so I compiled a list of questions to ask each other. these help to make the trips more interesting.
when you go on YOUR next trip ask each other questions. get to know your hunny or your friend more! make up different ones if you like! be sure to pick questions that are open-ended. open-ended questions are ones that do not prompt a yes or no answer. avoid questions that begin with "do you...?" or "have you..." choose questions that evoke longer answers like "what is your favorite...?" or "if you could..."
ask away!!
