HOV lanes...


Do you know one thing that I absolutely love? I am sure you did not guess this one....HOV lanes. My first experience of driving in the HOV lane was in Los Angeles, California. My roommates (Stephanie, Ailey, Liz, and I) went to visit Liz’s family in Burbank. This is where I fell in love with HUGE freeways. Call me crazy, but the traffic was so awesome. No matter which way you looked–there were lanes and lanes of freeway. If I had to choose from driving through a town or driving on a freeway–I will 98% choose to drive on the freeway. So, when I drove on the freeway in Los Angeles, I was in complete heaven. Immediately, when I would enter the freeway, I would get in the HOV lane. Yes, complete heaven!! I love to drive fast, therefore, when all the traffic is stopped–you are not when you are driving in the HOV lane.

So, tonight, I needed to run an errand to Salt Lake. Our freeways are not as big as they are in Los Angeles, but we do have a HOV lane. So, I invited Mom to come along for the ride. My mom is cool and I love spending time with her. So, Mom and I drove to Salt Lake and YES, I was in heaven driving in the HOV lane. I am glad that I got to spend time with my Mom. She is amazing and I think she is too cool!! Anyway, I got to do 2 great things today...visit with Mom and drive in the HOV lane.


Have a great day!



P.S. I am grateful for my mom, HOV lanes, my car, and good weather!

You are right, I would so not have guessed that you like driving on the Freeway. I do like the HOV lane too, but I am still not a freeway fan in general.

I also like the freeway-I love the speed! Make sure though, to be looking at other drivers. You never know when one will be waving hello!
