Driving Ms. Greene-y :: Day 2 & 3
Day three of traveling has come to a close and I am comfy cozy in the hotel bed. The gramps paid for the hotel tonight, so it's about 100x less slum-y than my pick yesterday. Shampoo AND conditioner? We are living in luxury, my friends.
But seriously. Has anyone ever been to Wyoming? Why?! Why would you go there? On day two, the gramps and I drove through the entire state. From one side to the other. Was there anything interesting? Nope. Just some desert, flatland, and sage brush. I thought that state would never end!
But it did, and we ended up hitting five states total on day two: Idaho, Utah, (Why)oming, Colorado, and Nebraska. No, Colorado was not on our original route, but it was like 15 minutes out of the way. We're a spontaneous pair, the gramps and I. Watch out!
Day three offered a lot more scenery. We finished driving through Nebraska, spent about 30 minutes in Iowa, and then passed right into Missouri, which is where we've parked our selves for some sleep.
Some of the more interesting occurrences so far (top 5 list!!)
5. Taught a woman with no teeth how to work the paper dispenser in the woman's room at a truck stop. Side note: didn't know truck stops had a place available for people to take showers. Makes sense, but hearing "shower two is now available. Next customer please step in" over the intercom just seemed a little strange. But I digress.
4. Had half a dozen Nebraska-folk stop to check on us when we stopped for some grub on the side of the road. After asking if we were ok, they all commented on how great the weather was and told us to enjoy ourselves. Such nice people!
3. Got a 10% discount at the hotel we stayed in last night. I think it was the cute-girl discount. (I'm sticking to it).
2. I got the gramps addicted to skittles. And chicken salad sandwiches.
1. The gramps and I stumbled our way across a real life biker gang! I would have snagged a picture, but about 70% of me was actually afraid.
Now, phone dump.
One more day of driving to go!! Text me. Snap chat me. Start up a game of words with friends. If I'm not driving, I'll respond in 30 seconds flat. Seriously.
