We are about to embark on a grand adventure--the summer road trip of 2012.
Every year, we load up the kids and drive down to see my family in Alabama. My mother and father took my sister,brother and me when we were kids. Now I take my kids. Traa-diii-tionnnn! (You should be singing that word in Fiddler on the Roof style.)
I love road trips. I love to get away. I've always dreamed of being on a tour bus, going from gig to gig.
Here's my tour bus.
Just like a celebrity. Except the air conditioning only works in 20 minute stretches, there is no nanny along for the ride and I am on an extremely strict budget. Not only strict, but sad. It's a sad budget.
No worries though. I'm ready for a getaway. I'm ready to travel like a god damn low level grunge band.
My tour manager husband has to stay home to manage the local bands here at home (code for the mostly sweet, but mostly delinquent kids at the summer school where he is the head honcho). In a true sign of his belief in my traveling abilities, he has rigged up a "cooling system" that will help. I'm a bit skeptical.
Get ready America, or at least a few states in the southeastern portion of America, the Youngbloods are coming!
Tour stops:
Louisville, Kentucky
Atlanta, Georgia
Huntsville, Alabama
Nashville, Tennessee
Louisville, Kentucky***
***repeat stop, thanks Dana!
I will be live Tweeting and updating my Facebook page. I'm sure the tour will be full of wild antics from the band and the roadies. Follow along!

Okay, I might have pretended I was going on tour with the Go-Gos when I was a kid. And that is why this video is so awesome. Also because it's the Go-Go's on one of my favorite shows as a kid Solid Gold. Enjoy!
