First we check the car...
Fluids are good
...then we fuel up...
Fluids are really good
...and then we grab the siblings and head to Arizona and back in less than 14 hours!
Why not?
We drove off and made great time, but we ended up riding a horse in a seedy, seedy gas station.
Run! Run away!
We also made a wrong turn at Tatooine.
Beware the Storm Troopers
The crazy locales and sore legs were worth it though, for at the end of the road...
This is the real reason we traveled. The nearest Cracker Barrel is a state away, but we have not had a chance to visit one in years. While I love my home state, I miss the taste of country biscuits. The sibling's solar-cycle anniversary is as good a reason to travel as any, and it was well worth the trip.
Country food?
Country food!!!
We had a waitress from central casting. Her name was Ruby, and she was thrilled to discover we came from far away. She even gave us extra biscuits so we would have something to eat on the way home.
And home we went. We had obligations the next day, so we had to get back to the native state before the next day.
So after refueling...
Caffeine and sugar everywhere!
Woohoo!
...we hit traffic. Lots and lots of traffic. So much that we decided to pull over and re-stock our fried food supplies.
Traffic.
Traffic never changes.
Despite it all, we made it home with few arguments and full bellies. A random trip with good family and great food.
Until next time, peace out, mah ninjas!
