On the road again maybe

Challenge prompt: "Sixteen is the age at which you can get a driver's license in most states in the US. Was your first car a Ford? Tell us about getting your license or your first car - alternatively, write about a road trip."

Last year, the mom and I took a road trip up to Vancouver, Canada for a blogger meetup. I was apprehensive about attending such an event by myself and it was a great excuse for our first road trip together. Link to that event here.
She has encountered a few health issues that didn't allow for a road trip this year but I am hoping next year, time and money permitting, we can go somewhere fun like the Portland Jazz Festival or another blogger meetup in and around the Pacific Northwest area.
Any road trips taken or planned in the near future?
