Driving campers, a midnight fire alarm and some other stuff


A handful of interesting moments happened while on vacation this summer.  Some funny…some not so much!

What do you talk about on a 14 hour car trip?  Lots of RANDOM things and some of that randomness ends up really funny. 


A)  Justin:  There are so many of those things on the road.  I’ve never seen so many on a trip before!

Kelly:  What?

Justin:  Oh you know…what are they called?  Those driving campers.

Kelly & Justin:  Burst into laughter for a good couple minutes.

Kelly: (after FINALLY composing myself) Oh, you mean motorhomes?

Justin:  Oh, yeah that’s it!

B)  We are driving in Florida.

    Kelly:  Palm trees just make me happy.

    Justin:  Bet you’ve never been hit by one!

    HUH????????????????  We both burst out laughing!  Yeah,    neither of us knew what that was suppose to mean.
 
I LOVED this house!  It was right by the beach!  Palm trees in my yard?  Yes, please!

Then there is my sister in law.  We totally had a convo about how they were in downtown Orlando and a crazy homeless guy spit on her flip flop.  True story!!!  WHAT?
THEN there was the fire alarm at our hotel at midnight.  FREAKED Ian out SO badly!  We didn’t know what to do but get all the kids out of the room and down to our car.  The fire alarm didn’t turn off for OVER AN HOUR!!!!!!!!!!!!!!  So it was us in our PJs in our car at the hotel in the middle of the night=AWESOME (sense my snarkiness?)



I did get completely obliterated by a rogue wave at the beach WHILE HOLDING ELIJAH.  That was painful.  Somehow I held him up like baby Simba in The Lion King and he came out a little freaked but otherwise unscathed.  I on the other hand…well…




there you go…

BUT I did learn how to make my own shampoo!  This REALLY IS awesome!  AND I’m totally going to share it on the blog one day soon!!!  Get excited!


And I DID get to see a GOOD GOOD friend I haven't seen since before Ian was born!!!!!  She and her husband live in Orlando and while we were there we were able to spend an evening together at our hotel. I can't tell you how nice it was to see her and meet her little guy!




Don't you just want to squeeze him!!???!!!!!

Just last night I was like" Who was that group ya know they started out on Wall Street all mad a the 1% of rich people in America and then they were here in Seattle, all over the news for blocking our streets and ??" And my Giant and friends just look at me and laugh and I feel stupid when they say... You mean the Occupy group? Yep! He's in good company.
