Tacoma Bound: The Travels of Wren and Maddo, Part the Second (6/6/08)

Maddo and I have both concluded we should have known things would not go smoothly with my family. Here is a brief list of why:
1) Unc told us to wake up at 7:30 to collect the truck. We dragged our asses out of bed at 6:45. At 8:00 AM, Unc was still in the shower.
2) Thanks to his poor planning, instead of being done at 11:00 like we wanted, we were done at 2:00. (Don't ask.)
3) Then there was a thunderstorm, and Fam actually refused to drive us back from lunch to get to the U-Haul so we could leave.

In other news, I have murdered more bugs than I knew existed. But now we are at a Holiday Inn, courtesy of Unc's credit card (which he has sent with us), and eating pizza and watching movies. So I feel a lot better about life.

Now if only we weren't 120 miles behind schedule...

Bah. You'll make it back easily. Just remember, your truck is easily 2-3 times the weight of most cars on the road, so they should get the fuck out of your way when you come screaming down the road.

I love that this horrorfest (so far it seems) is labeled VACATION! Remind me not to vacation with you....

Hey. Last time I did this trip, my tire exploded. I am counting my blessings.
