So Erica, you said you've been on a million road trips.
What that all about?
Where you been?
Okay.
Well, maybe not a million road trips, but many road trips.
Every I used to go on a road trip with my family and we would drive many,
many hours, probably eight hours in one day up to Northern Canada.
Oh, wow.
Nice.
Yeah.
And then we would go camping and we would sleep outside and we would have a campfire at night.
It was great.
Ah, family road trip.
Yeah, but maybe eight hours.
Well, I've been on a different kind of road trip with some buddies of mine, some friends.
We drive to Las Vegas.
Really?
Yeah.
So that's really fun.
A of crazy guys in a car going to Las Vegas and then just having fun and talking about everything.
So that's a much different experience in a family road trip.
Maybe that sounds a little bit more fun.
Yeah, eight hours in a car is not really that boring with all your friends.
