Every since our statewide quarantine hit our lives, we have been stuck at home almost all day, everyday. I know that I am slowly becoming bored and restless. I love being adventurous and going out and having a good time. Since I can't really do that right now, one of the things I like to do to stay safe but also get out of the house, is go for a nice 30 minute to an hour drive. It is a great way to relax, refresh your mind, and get away from that family for a bit. My favorite time to go is when it is a beautiful warm day or even a cool summer night. The windows down, music blasting, wind in my hair. If I'm lucky I'll have a Wendy's Four For Four with me!

Here are 10 songs that should be apart of your driving playlist!
