So we finally made it.
The ride was going as planned until we reached Texarcana. Texarcana is on the border of Arkansas and Texas, so it is "twice as nice." Thats what they want you to think... In Texarcana I woke up with an infected eye, engine belts squealing, and no idea what else would happen in the day ahead. At the first stop, while backing out I had gotten my bumper stuck on some screws sticking up out of a piece of steel at the gas station. I'm sure the three of us amazing women (Myself, Laura and Allison) could have figured out how to get it off but some very helpful/bossy Texans came to asses the situation. It just took a few moments, but once back on the road, Allison informed me that by being in the car trying to save my car from being "screwed" (pun intended) that I missed the Texan that had two teeth. Damn.
The plans were to stop for lunch at Arkadelphia (yes, correctly spelled...as if Texarcana wasnt bad enough already) but it proved to be full of nothing. We ended up stopping a Dixie barbeque restuarant which served good food but the Free Ice Cream Machine was broken. As if the day couldnt get any worse...
Later on we were stuck beind a truck pushing 50 in a 60 in the middle of nowhere in a sloppy rain mess. We took a wrong turn and ended up in Brian/Bryan Texas. By now I was begining to think that maybe I should reconsider this Texas idea...I mean the shit really didnt hit the fan until we hit TEXarcana.
However, we FINALLY MADE IT! Austin was as beautiful as ever when we pulled in....I can't wait to see what the summer has in store for us.
We also saw the new movie Baby Mama, which is VERY FUNNY. I recommend taking any mother with a rauncy sense of humor to see it for Mother's Day. Unfortunately, I won't be able to take mine. :(
