Missing a trip with Lily

My camera is refusing to work again. This time around, I really am going to go buy a new one. But in the meantime, I've got a photo a day to post. Looking through my photos, I noticed that I miss my niece . . . .
Last May, my niece asked me to drive across the country with her. The previous September, I had driven with her from California to Massachusetts where she was going to spend a year in college. We had such an amazing trip, what we both thought we would only be experiencing together once. After her school year in Massachusetts, she was planning on driving back home to California with a friend, but those plans fell apart at the last minute. So she called me. And I was sooo glad she did. I have never had so much fun driving for hours and hours each day. On both trips we camped most of the way, and stopped off at as many places of interest that we could jam into the few days we had.

She stayed in-state this year so I didn't have the opportunity to take a cross-country trip with her this year, and gosh darn it, I missed it! I wonder if I can somehow figure a way to get her to move back and forth across the country every year, just so that I get to take that trip with her.
