road trippin'

i love a good road trip. m & i will be traveling this weekend to asheville, nc to see his brother (and my soon-to-be brother-in-law - how crazy is that?). jeff will be competing in the green river kayaking race. i'm really looking forward to seeing him in his element! it's about a 5 hour drive, so i thought i'd share some of my road trip faves.

just bought this sweater (on sale!) and love how soft it is!

my j brand jeans are always a favorite. they're stretchy without stretching out. tom's shoes are incredibly comfortable, and they're always a good buy since every pair of shoes bought will guarantee a pair of shoes for a child in need.

sweater, jeans, & tom's

can't resist fruity candy in the car.

i've mentioned that i love to read. m and i started to read books together when we were dating (it's so much more fun than watching a movie!). we read Extremely Loud and Incredibly Close earlier this year, and i highly recommend it. now we are reading m's pick - Killer Angels, which chronicles the battle of gettsyburg. i'm not usually drawn to historical fiction, so this has been a good exercise for me.

and where would a road trip be without some good listening? we are making our way through tim keller's sermons on marriage (amazing), and i will be forcing m to listen to the new taylor swift album until we both know the words by heart.

we both love the tunes of mumford & sons. this album seems to embody autumn to me.

do you have any road trip musts? i'd love to know!
