We're comin round the mountain when we come!

Road trips are soooooo much fun! :)

So this morning I woke up at 3:15 wide awake, excited about the trip. I lulled myself back to sleep and after a few more hours of sleep I awoke to the beauty of the FIRST DAY OF SUMMER and the celebration of the two most amazing men I know, my dad and grandpa!

This morning, church seemed especially dry and boring. I dont know what it was, but the congregation all seemed like they left part of themselves in bed....it was weird, and we were really low in numbers because people were out on vacations and such....oh well :)

After church we headed down to this little Mexican restaurant for Fathers day and had a nice little family time celebrating our dads :)

Ok, I am convinced that I have an aura radiating from me that attracts foreigners. I dont know but earlier this week we ate Chinese for my mom's bday, and this little guy that works there named Kevin just absolutely would not leave me alone. In his cute little Chinese accent he asked me my name and where I was from...how adorable!
Then yesterday when I went to get my nails done, one of the Vietnamese workers would not stop staring...so then he asked me similar questions followed with a sneaky way to hold my hand for about 5 seconds (which he confessed to).
Then today at the Mexican place, there were three different Mexican waiters asking me all these questions and one was all like "Bonita Bonita Seniorita" oh dear. My family was dying with laughter as embarassment overwhelmed me....so I dont know what it is, but I guess I attract foreigners? Not good considering I am spending two weeks in Florida... :-/

Anyway....off we went around 2pm. It was so relaxing just to be able to pull out of our driveway and forget the responsibilities of home....and Deli Fresh.

We drove for what was only supposed to be a 4 hour trip that turned into a 5.5 hour trip because of contruction and a horrible tractor and trailer accident :(

So that brings us here, in Columbia, SC sleeping until 5 am...then we start part 2 of the trip :)


More to come tomorrow!!

I love you guys!
