My hubby and I went on a really long holiday years ago in the western part of the US. I think it was the best holiday we ever had. We visited lots of National Parks and cities so there was lots of driving involved. I took this photo near Monument Valley. It's supposed to be where Forrest Gump decided to stop running.

I like the Irish expression "Two shorten the road", as it's so true that good company really makes a journey fly by. I thought this photo would go with the saying so I printed the sentiment from the computer. Inside the card I added "..and I'm so glad I share the journey with you" which could apply to our holiday or life in general - sorry I should have given a major soppy alert! This is my first attempt at distressing and I’m not sure if it worked. Distressing can be distressing!
