Road Trip: Day 1
Our little family is taking our first road trip-to Savannah because Mike's uncle's lady friend is throwing a party because Mike's uncle is turning 50.
As we all know from the Official Road Trip Bible, any reason is a reason for a road trip.
Sadly, there will be no White Castles.
Sigh.
There was already a great deal of irritation before we even left the Wash DC Metro area. One, we left at 11 AM and almost immediately realized at the same time that we had forgotten to eat lunch before we left. We were then stuck behind someone doing 35 mph in a 55 mph zone. She had fairies tied all over the outside of her car, so I have now added fairies to My List of Things to Hate On (Didn't take much.) After the hour it took to release ourselves from Fairy Lady's clutches, we were starving, irritable, and snapping at one another so we settled for the closest food choice-Chik-Fil-A. We then felt nasty. Bleah.
Then, I had forgotten my wallet at work, so we had to stop there.
Next, there must be some sort of trucker convention down South, because I swear every truck ever invented was in our lane. When we changed lanes, so did they. It was like Synchronized Annoyance.
We were finally clear of the trucks, but then got stuck behind an annoying little car with flashers on. Couldn't figure out why he had his flashers on and assumed he was a Traffic Moron. I grumbled aloud incessantly. Because we were in Northern Virginia, nobody would willingly let me into the next lane to pass the guy. When I finally squeezed my way into the next lane and started passing him, I noticed the guy in front of him also had his blinkers on. And the guy in front of him. And in front of him. And also the hearse in front of him.
So I am officially a terrible person.
The ride thereafter was fairly smooth. The baby fairly good. The music quite sucky (local radio stations).
We had dinner with some friends, watched some cartoons and are about to turn in for the night.
Thus ends, Day I.
