2 days or 2 weeks???

And so it begins......ONWARD out of PA or maybe....just out of BEAVERTOWN.....grammy Wagner played with my heart....being dressed and pretty (wig and nylons included)...for adventure....pap wouldn't let her leave on the premise of smooches being to rockin'. So, we had to embark on our lonesome toward D.C....stocked well with money and kitkats from grammy (sure to send Girwawa in a sugar craving and coma for the next few days ...sustained by ashtyne's cookies...It appears the cookies are gone and Thursday will be detox. Thursday is going to be fun.)
Second stop: D.C.-Holocaust museum and monuments. I cried and Tyese is an insensitive hooch, she laughed at me. Pictures explain the rest.

Why? Why is the Washington Monument so funny?

After taking these oh-so-tasteful and original pictures we decided that food was making the "crazies" take hold. Back to the car we go?? No no! D.C. likes to play unannounced scavenger hunts. They hide your car and you get to guess where it is. It was extremely fun, minus the $100 new membership fee to the club "S.O.F.D.R.T.Y.G.Y.C.T" (a.k.a- So On the First Day of Road Trip You Get Your Car Towed). No worries it was worth the fun. After all that walking, we did a little cool down and soon-to-sit-in-a-car-for-7-hours pregame slacklining with an old time friender...Peter...Peter #1-get out of the district of d.c. and #2-get your fun loving self to the
country.

Handful of Pistachios, 2 oranges, goldfish, 6 calls from friends finding out where we were, balloon animal perfecting (Mary I owe you my life this has been one of my favorite parts of the trip), a state crossing, 3 giant cross sightings, endless dinner theatre avoidance, and 7 hours later....destination arrival complete: Pigeon Forge Tennessee, home to the only Zorbing in the country.

Oh yes, Tennessee welcomed us with big, happy, squishy, clear, amazing, joyful, desired, expensive, ecstatic, wet, round, ZORBBBBBBBBSSSSSSSSSSSSSS!!!!


The journey continued to Atlanta...will post more on Atlanta Later..2 days in, so much has happened, feels like 2 weeks. This is going to be an interesting trip. (Yes, zorbing was hysterical and fun and mostly hysterical.)

haha wow. those are some great/classy pictures. I'm so glad you liked the balloon animals... possibly one of my favorites. Hope there's no more car towing in the future - got it out of the way on the first day.... =)

Now that you got your car towed, you just need a speeding ticket California , hit a wild animal on the way to the Arizona, and break your camera in Oregon.

2 days and already at least 4 legal infractions: 1) desecration of a national monument 2) illegal attachment to a public tree 3) driving under the influence (of balloon animals) and 4) obviously some illegal parking.

Dear god Tyese...... your were right the pic of you getting out of the Zorb is..... is...... I don't know but I laughed for like 5 mins.

Lisa said...

Had to scroll through about 10 times b/c I couldn't believe that you did ALL of that in 2 days!! And by the way, when does wet and squishy equal joyful?? Although it did look rather fun.....

those are some pretty awesome pictures. Only 2 days in and it seems like you have done so much already. If your causing this much havoc on the east coast, i can only imagine what is soon to come to the rest of the country. haha

Wow, DC and Tenn. are still reeling from your visit, and Georgia probably is too. But it sounds like an awesome time is being had by all (even the treasury of Washington DC, lol)

Chardo's not Chinese said...

Looks like you two had a great time in the Zorbs, do they change the water in them each time somebody rides? Tyese's facial expression denotes otherwise. Hope you dont get all wrapped up in Atlanta!

JackintheBox is right about the illegal infractions, but he missed one...driving on the road with not one but 2 cakes breaks...that's right The Bro Code. Having 2 cakes in the car when one of them is not heading to my mouth is morally wrong. 83% percent of women who bake multiples when they nor their families cannot eat it all bake for the reason of impressing a member of the male species (i.e. lasagna). Latin lesson i.e. means id est which literally translates "that is" and has been accepted as a tranliteration of 'for example'.
