I had no idea, but shouldn’t have been surprised, that getting out of town to start our 1100+ mile road trip would have had a few snags. The brilliant idea of hitting the road just a few minutes after 5:00 was delayed by about an hour. I picked the most obscure rental car place with only one worker who left for 15 mins to go fill up another rental with gas. Which meant I had to endure a conversation with a woman who was busy exfoliating her flaking skin. I wish I were joking. But at least she cautioned me that the trouble with being her age is “there’s skin everywhere.” My only response was to look at my cell phone and hope she would stop talking to me.
FINALLY once I had my rental car keys in hand, because I had to work at convincing the guy I w
asn’t going for class, all I needed was good gas mileage and an iPod port, I headed back to pick up Beth. Here’s our hot ride for the weekend:
We quickly realized that our plan to have dinner with Ryan & Sunny in Austin wasn’t going to workout; 35 was packed. In Waco we decided to grab a quick dinner at Chickfila so we didn’t waste too much time. Wrong. Chickfila was a quite a venture off the highway, so don’t let the sign fool you if you happen to be passing through Waco.
With Chickfila in hand we got back on 35 only to hit more traffic…not what we were hoping for…after jamming out to my “White Trash” play list on my iPod we finally made it Austin about 9:30. Since it was so late, and Sunny needed to work the next day it didn’t make since to go out somewhere to hang. Instead we ran to Walmart and picked up some wine and headed to Ryan & Sunny’s place. We were greeted by their adorable dog Riley, who I totally would have stolen if I thought I could:
We stayed up until after 1:00 am catching up and reminiscing, all the while half watching “Get Him To the Greek,” which incidentally I need to go back an actually watch because it looked hilarious. Beth and I were both bummed we got there so late and didn’t have more time to hang with Ryan and Sunny but I guess that means will just have to head down to spend a whole weekend in Austin with them soon!
(Too bad we didn’t take a pic from our hang out but I like this one Beth took at Todd and Lindsey’s wedding back in February.)
Thanks so much Ryan and Sunny for letting us crash at your place for the first night of our tour of Texas. We are definitely blessed to have some amazing cousins!
