Our Summer Vacation.. Part 2...The Twisted Sisters...

Well, the week I took off from work is almost over. It goes by much too quickly. Normally, I enjoy spending time off from work just hanging around the house, waking when I feel like it...going to bed late, taking naps, going shopping, nothing much but time away from work. This vacation, my sister and I took off together. Nothing really planned, we just did it. For years we've been saying that we should, yet, year after year that time never came. Well, it finally did. I don't think there are a whole lot of people that share the same sense of humor that my sister and I share. We get silly, enjoy silly things, and enjoy laughing. Thats mainly what we did. We kept a journal of our little trip and took some pictures. We stayed in a great location and everything was as perfect as it could of possibly could of been, probably because nothing was planned. We just threw a few set of clothing in a bag and off we went. We laughed at our journal, our pictures, even our hotel rooms which were side by side because mine had a coffee table and her's didn't. We made more stupid jokes over that one issue. We shopped til we dropped, dined, walked, watched movies at night in my room (cause I had a coffee table), and there was so much more we wanted to do that it makes us "plan" next year's trip.



We took turns writing the journal....here's a sample of it:

(Barb)

9:15am,Wed. Left. Milage in the car is 15,458 (Opal's car and Opal driving)

9:28am,Wed. Fighting over which way to go.

9:31am,Wed. Stop at the bank for Opal. We haven't gone anywhere yet..nice trip. She is over

tired, bags under her eyes, and yelling at me!

9:40am,Wed. She is still in the bank and I'm growing roots on my ass! I think she snuck into

Dunkin Donuts. I'm tired.

9:44am,Wed. Still in the Bank! I'm hot. I tihnk this IS where she is taking me! This IS the Trip!



12:30pmWed.Finally,...a gift shop we stop on the way. Great. we got along. We are really are

really moving. Got directions. Bought some good junk. Got lost?

1:00pmWed. We have gone 42 miles!! We may be getting agraphobia - we are panic

stricken. We've gone 42 miles and everything is foreign.



(Opal)

2:00pmWed. Finally, we are here after 10 trips up and down the strip. We choose the hotel that

we saw first, 3 hours ago. We made a good choice. Side by side rooms.King beds.

Barbs complaining her toilet overflowed but she really got upset when she saw

that her room had no coffee table and mine did. I better keep an eye on mine

cause I can tell she wants it.

We toasted with our drinks (soda) and now she keeps singing He ain't heavy..He's

Your Brother in redneck accent. Its baddd. Still, she is not happy over the

coffee table situation. (See Picture)

4:00pmWed

(Barb)

Went scouting around. Went to the mall outside our hotel door. Excellent! Back

now, our feet killing us from walking for hours. Got some subs, movies and back

to room to relax. Bought goodies. (Thinking we should of checked into a nursing

home instead the way our feet are killing us).



See Pictures.

he sits and reads of their trip and feels good that they enjoyed themselves.

then he chuckles as he can find nothing to gripe about here.

btw, barb am glad to meet a twisted sister but next year be sure to ask if your room has a coffee table in it. lol
