Ick’s Corner

Yesterday started out like any other day when traveling. Get up, showered, packed, loaded up, and start the search for food. We decided to try and hit the local Waffle House for some ever so tasty pecan waffles but quickly changed our minds, due to the massive line. We decided to try another hole in the wall cafe, and that’s where the fun started.

We were met by a rather loud waitress that insisted on calling  us *BOO*. Now I have been called *BOO* before, but never by a middle aged white woman. Ol Broad was not amused, while she was addressing the adults as *BOO*, she was addressing the kids as *Ma’am*? We were also not ammused by the fact that we could not get breakfast. So we ordered what would become lunch, and wait, and wait, and wait, and wait some more. We could see our food sitting there, but it was not making its way to our table for some reason. I mean after all at this point we were the only ones in the cafe, so why was our food not making its way to our table? Probably because our waitress was on a smoke break, while chatting with some other employees. *shakes head* The only saving grace for the little cafe that could, was the food was above average.

Full and in need of a nap we hit the open road and start the last leg of our journey. We’re not even a good hour into our trip when I see the Ol Broad pulling over to the side of the road. So I quickly pull over and I happen to notice my youngest child getting out on the side of the road. My first thought is *Oh sh*t she has finally done it, she drove the Ol Broad crazy and is being put out on the side of the road. Come to find out there was a soda bottle malfunction. A bottle of Big Red exploded all over Ol Broad, and the inside of her brand new truck, with LEATHER seats. Upon hearing of this mess, my first comment was, *Please tell me it wasn’t SP fault*.  Nope, this one was all on Ol Broad!  A quick stop at a local gas station, and a change of clothes, and were back on the open road, AGAIN!  At this point I’m thinking we might get to Tennessee some time today.

In my last post I had various points that I found interesting. Yesterday I was extremely tired, so I only found one thing interesting. I noticed there were a ton of cars on the road without both front and rear license plates. In Texas we are required to have both, so it was odd to see that many cars out on the road without both. Needless to say we arrived safely at the bat cave around 6, and all in one piece. Veg time here we come!!

One last thought, I was correct making fun of my mother in laws license plate did not get old on day two of our journey. Heh
