Day 2!
Day two had an early start! Some genius that stayed in the hotel room before us had the alarm set for 4 am so we woke up at 4 am to that ridiculous "bzzzzzz! bzzzzzz!" Not my favorite but not the worst either. Needless to say I will always check the alarm clocks in hotel rooms in the future. I would have to say that one of the highlights of my day happened first thing in the day. We were provided with a continental breakfast and they had a pancake machine! (insert angelic music here) This amazing machine made two pancakes in a minute! It cooked the pancakes fresh (all inside the machine so all you could do was wonder at all the magic that was happening inside) and spit them out onto a plate for you in just one minute! Who's the genius that came up with that!?!?! All you have to do is press a button! I'm still in pancake awe.
After breakfast we set out on the driving adventure that would be labeled as day two. I drove for a while and mom rested. So I happily put on my earphones (still not sure if that's legal or not) and listened to one of my all time favorite movies - Armageddon. I can see the images in my head I've seen that movie so many times. We stopped at a travel truck stop and got some Starbucks for some rejuvenation. That is ALWAYS a good idea! Driving by we just "happened" to see a road sign for an outlet mall and my fingers were just so curious so I looked to see if that outlet had a Coach and they did so that was the "post-coffee bathroom break." How convenient right!?!?
The rest of the day was fairly uneventful....right! Mom thought she lost her white gold bracelet so I made some phone calls to track it down. Thankfully it was found later this evening in a bag, it just fell off. There was great anticipation (on my end) over the Pennsylvania state sign (I'm trying to get a picture of them all which has been an epic fail) and the camera battery died at the last second and we missed the picture. We had seriously had the camera ready for about 20 miles waiting for the state line.....it was sad. I found out what my new address is for my apartment I'll be staying in. How exciting! And I tried perfecting my backing up skills.....that didn't go so well. It ended with me in laughing hysteria and mom yelling "go park over there! Knock this off!" In the end I parked crookedly (is that a word?) but within my lines!
Now it's time for a little bit of relaxation once again. I think we have our route determined for tomorrow and it looks like it'll be about 6 1/2 hours to Hamden/New Haven Connecticut. Tomorrow the adventure continues!!
