The married Live with Kelly and Mark hosts, both 53, headed out on a road trip on Sunday, July 14, per Ripa’s Instagram Stories. During their journey, both seemed unamused with their slow car ride as Ripa documented their struggles for her followers to see. In the first snap, Ripa offers a slight smile as she sits in the passenger seat next to her husband, who is focused on the road. “The sun finally came out,” she writes in white text over the shot, tagging Consuelos.

Kelly Ripa/Instagram This is not the first time the Live Wire author has shared a glimpse of her travel experiences. During a July 2 episode of Live with Kelly and Mark, Ripa recalled an unexpected interaction she had with airport security on her way back from her trip to Switzerland with Consuelos to visit Lola. Ripa began her story by explaining that she always wears the same outfit to the airport to avoid triggering any detectors. “And yet, in Switzerland I got beeped,” she said. “Then I had to remove my shoes, and I was like, ‘Why? They’re sneakers.’ But anyway, shoes off, beeped again. They wanded me, nothing beeped.” With a cheeky smile, she added, “I got frisked.” The Riverdale alum then jokingly chimed in: “I said check her again!

It's so clean."
