Trip Blog Part 1
"Where a man came from is never as interesting as where he is now."
Alexander English
On the way home from Richard and Sean's house, I made this quote up to fit how I felt about the recent trip we took. I was also asking myself how people came up with quotes and got them written down. Probably in famous speeches and such. That's not where I'm going with this blog, just a tangent. I am hoping that Sheena and Richard write they're blog similar so you all can see the trip from all of our perspectives, kind of like a reality show, but with people you actually care about.
Sunday
Where is the coffee? All I wanted Sunday morning when I woke up was a damn hot cup of coffee. Was that so much to ask? Well, the people at Richard's work seemed to think so. They weren't available as I drove to Albertsons to get ice for the trip. I wanted some wake up juice. I was fine anyway. I got back to the apartment and Sheena scared the shit out of me. I just wasn't expecting her to be up yet, but she was up and running around, very scary. We got the car ready and said goodbye to Sean, he gave me a hearty hug, back when I was still able to use my sholders for hugging. Then we were off to my parent's house. Apparently Gremlins had visited the night before. They apparently left my PawPaw's lights on in his car all night, because he says he didn't do it, and he was worried about it starting. It did and we were off. That doesn't say much because once we drove out of my parent's driveway, he was in the WRONG LANE. Then when we got on Highway 9, he was swerving like crazy. I wish I could say that he stopped swerving a few moments later, but I can't, he did it on the whole trip! Swerve over to the right, overcorrect, swerve over to the left, overcorrect, center, then start swerving again. This went on for the whole trip. He almost killed a dozen people and tried to get off at the wrong exit twice. Needless to say, he needs to be off the road. He was also driving with a busted ice chest with liquid and a mold growing in it. I just thought I would mention that since I had to look in it and find something for him. Anyway, the trip down was pretty good until he lost us. I had to go to the bathroom and we set up a system that if we flashed our lights twice, signaled, then we would both get off. That didn't work, so Richard was driving, and he had to run to pull in front of him, we then cut him off, very closely, and exited to a gas station, and he did not get off. He's blind and needs to be off the road! Well, I went to the bathroom, called my Uncle Joey and told him the situation. A little bit later, I got a call from my Uncle saying he found my PawPaw and he was waiting for us. We caught up to him and then left for the remainder of the trip. This is pretty much it for Sunday. The trip took a long time, mainly because we stopped at every rest station in existence. When we got to Louisiana, we met with my Uncle and his In-Laws. It was nice to see him since he's only been a voice on the phone for over a year. My PawPaw wanted to take us out to dinner and we settled on Popeye's. Westlake water is fucking disgusting! I don't remember it being that bad, but it is. Maybe it's a recent occurrence, but when we all ordered water at Popeye's, we discovered just how bad it was. For the rest of Sunday, we watched Family Guy and fell asleep.
I didn't anticipate spending so much time on Sunday, so I will continue later.
