There are times that I\u2019m so in the mood to enjoy the moment (without the camera) and other times I can\u2019t enjoy the moment unless I\u2019m snapping a bazillion shots of whatever.<\/p>\n<p>Our last road trip south (for Christmas) was one of those moments where I plain and simple couldn\u2019t sit still without my camera. Hubby and I were enjoying wonderful conversation and the scenery was marvelous. So here&#8217;s how I viewed things from the passenger seat.<\/p>\n<p>I wasn\u2019t able to capture just how beautiful the Ice was but here\u2019s a sample of what I was able to get while clipping down the highway at rapid speeds.
