Lyndsay & Katie's Excellent Adventure:

As Bill & Ted said, "Be excellent to each other...Party on dudes!"

Katie & I took a much needed roadtrip this weekend to Kentucky. It couldn't have come at a better time for wanting/needing to get away. A roadtrip wouldn't be a roadtrip without:

• Getting lost - check!
• Eating lots of junk food - check!
• Singing at the top of your lungs - check! Thank you to Jon Foreman & Chris Martin, especially to Chris Martin for his perfect vocal range for road trip belting
• Emergency pit stops - which may or may not include peeing in the dark out in the middle of nowhere behind a tree because the rest stop was too sketchy
• Getting into an "argument" - which may or may not have happened solely for the sake of being able to say we had one
• Becoming acquainted with local culture - which may or may not have included frequenting new restaurants and reading a "local newspaper"
• Being mooned & mooning - check! (bathroom in the woods...)
• Smelling skunks - check, check, check, check, check!
• Avoiding roadkill - check for the frog, check for the coyote, check for the raccoon!
• Driving defensively to avoid crazy Ohio drivers - check!
• Getting pulled over - did not occur, however, we tried our best with our open containers of bottled Ale8
• Toll drama - check!
• Car so dirty we had to squeegee the windows - check!
• Being mistaken for college students - check!
• Leaving later than planned - check!
• Driving stunt moves to barely make our exit - check!
• Missing our exit - check, check!
• Asking for directions at a gas station - check!
• Embracing the culture with our southern drawls - check!
• Leaving a ridiculous voicemail - check!
• Honking at state boarders - check!
• Observing local wildlife - check!
• Seeking the exact restaurant you want at that exact moment, to no avail - check!
• Eventually reaching that desired site - check!
• Exploring a small town (a really really small town) - check!
• Following a sign that leads you nowhere - check! (literally - thanks Mar & Mom)
