5. "Drives" with Patty

Day 5: "Drives" with Patty

     There is an Otterstedt girls tradition. Drives. It is one of our favorite things to do. A drive is something we do when we are happy. Sad. Bored. Hungry. Fighting. Depressed. Stressed. Basically whenever we need to just get away. A drive used to consist of a full tank of gas, a fresh pack of Camels, and Ludacris. Now, our drives consist of whatever gas we have in the tank, some kind of snack, and mellow music. But the journey is always the same. We get in the car feeling depleted. And when we return...we are different. Better. Rejuvenated.

     There is something magical about driving down dark roads for hours with your best friend. And if on some dark night you find yourself with nothing to do, and feeling a bit empty...I suggest a drive with someone like Patty.
