I will start off part 2 by saying it was thankfully a lot less eventful than part 1. But I still feel I need to deliver a part 2. The drive to Baltimore up the eastern shore went pretty well. Nora slept the whole way just about. The wind was the only thing that did not go our way. It was 20-30mph with higher gusts coming at us straight on. That killed our gas mileage and I had to hold both hands on the wheel to prevent being blown off the road. But if that is the worst that ever happens when traveling, that is just fine with me.

I will start off part 2 by saying it was thankfully a lot less eventful than part 1. But I still feel I need to deliver a part 2.
The drive to Baltimore up the eastern shore went pretty well. Nora slept the whole way just about. The wind was the only thing that did not go our way. It was 20-30mph with higher gusts coming at us straight on. That killed our gas mileage and I had to hold both hands on the wheel to prevent being blown off the road. But if that is the worst that ever happens when traveling, that is just fine with me.
I took the title from a line in National Lampoon's Christmas Vacation. If you have ever seen the movie, which I cannot imagine anyone that has not, you probably recognize that quote from when the mother, Ellen Griswold, and daughter, Audrey, were fighting about the Grandparents sleeping in her room, and that she would have to share a room with her brother Rusty. The reason I used that for the title of this blog is because half the time, we really feel like the Griswolds. But sadly, this season we felt a little like Cousin Eddie as well, parking our RV (the Ark) and inhabiting people's driveways for a few days :)
With another trip on the horizon, I figured I should get this entry up from the last one before I get too backed up on entries. Sharon's aunt's partner's son's wedding was to be held outside Bowling Green, Kentucky in conjunction with their annual hoedown and we were invited to attend. Also going was Sharon's sisters, Cookie and Rachie.
The Gang hits L.A. for Sean's wedding! While there, Skippy and I pursued a quest for getting photos of ourselves in front of the reality show, Hells Kitchen's, front door. But as with everything in Hollywood, things are not what they seem.
This is one of the only pics we took that day and what cracks me up is how much fun it looks like we had if you didnt know the back story about Sharons wet shoes drying to my right by the fire from crossing a river to see a tunnel
I must first say, I am so excited to be on another road adventure! There was a point I didn't think we were going to find an RV that we could both afford and want, which meant my wanderlust was not going to ever be satisfied. But along came the "Ark" :)
We left either late wed. night or early thursday morning depending on how you view 1 a.m. And if you travel with young ones you know why we left at such a crazy hour...
