The point of this trip is to pretty much do whatever we want and go wherever we want. And right now, laying in these cloud pillows debating just when we want to saunter downstairs for breakfast is just want we want.
Did you know there are rules when the Alishafriend and I vacation together? There are rules. Mostly revolving around what you can and can't pack.
Make-up? Off-limits. Leave it at home!
All of your crazy handkerchiefs can come though. As long as you promise to tie them around your head in the most ridiculous of ways.
This is a T-shirts only trip, too. The kind of T-shirts that you got from state volleyball in high school and a myriad of road races and oyster reclamation projects.
Basketball shorts (or pants) are to be the only bottoms. Extra points if they have pockets. Jeans are forbidden! (though i had to break that rule, heading straight to the airport from work and not packing a change in easy reach...).
Aviators and adventure bracelets round out our look.
Essentially, comfort and low-maintenance is key. It's a vacation from work clothes too!
Where has this bag been all my life?? Kyoo mom...add that to the Christmas list.
It's tradish when I fly Southwest to turn to the back of their seat pocket magazine and follow their dollar bill folding tutorial. This month it was bow ties!
(yes, alisha is wearing my ring...but i can explain! a creeper guy with a huge, bloody gash in the side of his head sat next to her and started laying on the (not so) charm. It was our only option! and it was my turn to sacrifice since i stole window seat...)
I still have the armadillo I made whilst flying to Portland last year. It took me all 3 hours of that flight to finish it...the directions get complicated fast!
We sat outside Chicago Midway with our copious amounts of luggage taking up an entire bench while eating cookie dough, people watching, and wondering if we'd recognize our hotel shuttle van when it came by.
(ps, do we look over 21? yes?? we definitely got carded while trying to claim free VIRGIN drinks at the hotel bar last night...the lady didn't believe us and made us trek back upstairs for our ids. then. then! she had another guy double check them because she was sure they were fake. hello lady! shall i point out all of my gray hairs individually or will you give me that sprite now?)
We might eventually get out to explore Chicago. Probably at noon checkout. And we do have to pick up a rental car and get somewhere before tonight, hopefully nabbing a state sign. But right now we don't know when or where.
It's kind of the best thing about our road trips.
In other news, the Tinadoctor is currently performing surgery on Harold.
His tail fin started falling off and he was losing a lot of
Don't worry though, the Alishafriend brought her fish, named Dlorah (harold spelled backwards), so we still have a scaly counterpart to start conversations with and make a scene.
(thanks again tina for taking on harold as your newest patient!)
Have a great day :-)
