RoadTrip

One of my dear friend's and roomate from college, Katie is getting married in May. On Saturday her wedding shower was held in Maryland. So, Saturday was a roadtrip day! One of my other dear friend's, Michelle, who is also in the wedding, Martin, Aubrey and I all loaded into the car at 5:00am to head down on the 7 and a half hour car ride to Maryland. And then we came back the same day!

While the four hours spent at the shower catching up with Katie, whom I haven't seen since December, was really nice. The 15 hours spent in the car far exceeded the time spent at the actual event, so not surprisingly, I have far more stories from this time than from the actual shower.

Michelle: Look at the license plate. It says Gay Peach. That's weird.....Oh wait. GA Peach. Georgia Peach. That makes more sense.

Me: (sitting in a gas station parking lot after feeding Aubrey) Oh! We should keep track of these funny quotes so I can write a blogpost about them.
Martin: How about start the car.
Michelle: How about Martin's grumpiness.
Me: Wait? What? I don't remember either of these things.
Michelle: Martin's grumpiness about start the car.
Martin: Yeah. How 'bout start the car. That's not a quote. Start the car.
Me: Ooooh. I thought you guys were giving me quotes. Well now you better write start the car as a quote about Martin's grumpiness.

Martin: Can we pull over so I can go to the bathroom.
Me: No, we're making really good time.

(getting back in car after stopping for a bathroom break)
Martin: See how fast I was. Michelle was wasting time sitting down. She's so lazy
Michelle: I'm a girl! How else am I supposed to go to the bathroom!

Martin: (talking to Aubrey): This is a long drive, isn't it. Katie better only get married  once, because we're not doing this again.

Martin: I think any movie that ends with balloons flying away at the end is an amazing movie.
Michelle: Well, that's kind of like the feather in Forrest Gump.
Martin: I think they stole that feather idea from the balloon idea.
...
Martin: Like The Notebook. If that had ended with balloons flying away at the end then there wouldn't be a single girl who wouldn't say that was her favorite movie.
Michelle: They kind of do that with the geese that fly away at the end.
Martin: Is there really any bird references in that movie, though?
Michelle: Yeah! When he takes her out into the pond and there's all those birds.
Martin: I think if he had said 'If you're a balloon, I'm a balloon' that would have been a lot better movie.

Wouldn't you like to roadtrip with us?
