Home!!

So after realizing that the ride home on 95 was only twelve hours, Kelly and I decided to push through and make it in one day. We arrived back at my house at 12:40, a little too late for Ryan Seacrest. However we did get to see some nice fireworks on the ride home.

Thank you all who followed!!!

BIG HAPPENINS IN SAVANNAH GA.

First stop, the goal of our road trip, the Lady and Sons Restaurant. We drove by at 11AM and saw crowds of people and got nervous. We parked the car and raced over to the restaurant. The hostess gave us the next available seating time which as at 9:15 PM! Eric worked his magic and southern charm and got us in immediately sitting at the bar. The true foodies we are, we both opted for the all you can eat buffet. There was a myriad of food such delectable’s included fried chicken, baked chicken, southern lasagna, mac n cheese, collard greens, lima beans, black eyed peas and so much more. It also included a salad bar with lettuce that was untouched by all the patrons. Brandon the Bead Boy, brought us our Ho Cake and Biscuit while Hector the Bartender later served us an assortment of desserts. (See pics below) Waddling out of the restaurant it was time to commemorate our trip with souvenirs from Paula’s store. We walked around aimlessly looking to spend our money and unbeknownst to us the DEAN BOYS WERE THERE! OMG OMG OMG our hearts fluttered and our Arm hair was raised! We grabbed two books and fought our way to the line. We made our way to the front and got them to sign our books and take some photos with us. OMG OMG OMG OMG! Sighhh….this made driving 11 hours through NC worth it! Elated with what had happened with what had happened we decided to tour the city of Savannah on a trolley. Lots of Historical happenins there, none of which we remember. However we did stumble upon the peanut shop and candy shop where we sampled our little hearts out. DELICIOUS! See below for fun pics of us in the city.

North Carolina………..WHERE THE ?#$&%* ARE WE?!?!?!?!?

Our game plan after the museum was to hit up the only Dunkin Donuts in a fifty mile radius and plan our route for the rest of the day. Whilst there, we decided we did not want to see anything else in NC and planned to either make it to Charleston or Hilton Head South Carolina tonight. When we left the DD it was 3:30 in the afternoon. What seemed like an eternity later we made it to Hilton Head Island at 2:30 AM the next day. Let us tell you about our 11 HOUR trip. Our 2 GPS led us down Hick from Sticks one lane roads where we saw beautiful, luxurious, decorated trailer homes. We’re talking double wide, single wide any kind you can imagine we saw. After not seeing civilization for five hours and eating through half a bag of pretzels, we stumbled upon the Wild Boar. It was like God was sending us a sign to please stop and eat because Lord knows when you are going to see another restaurant. The Wild Boar was delicious. We consumed fried pickles and our second BBQ sandwich of the trip. We hit the road again. At 11 at night salvation came in the form of South of the Border when we knew we were out of that wretched state. We stopped to take some fun photos and grab a quick cola to pep us up for the next three hours- 200 miles. UHHHHH IT WAS HELL!! We then were not able to locate condominium complex in Hilton Head because it was unreachable by one GPS and nonexistent by the other. We visited the beautiful Sea Pines complex and immediately dismissed saying that we did not belong there. We then had to call my brother at 2:30 AM for directions to the correct place. ALLELUIA We made it! SLEEP!

North Carolina…The “SO CALLED” Home of the Wright Brothers and their Museum.

Right over the border in NC we were pleased to discover that we were extremely close to the Wright Brother’s Museum which is located in Kitty Hawk in the Outer Banks of NC. We paid our four dollar admission and took our seats in the auditorium ready for an engaging lecture. We almost dozed off in the front row during the engaging talk and found out that the Brother’s were from Dayton Ohio and only came to Kitty Hawk because it’s the sixth windiest, secluded city. The Brother’s did not like the press. After the talk, we then took a self guided walking tour of the Wright Brother’s first ever runway where flight was discovered. We also visited a monument that was erected in their names, Orville and Wilbur.

A Couple Hours Later….And still in the same state….LUNCH!

One may ask why we would have lunch only two and half hours after breakfast, but flipping through the book we realized we NEEDED to stop at Doumar’s in Southern Virginia. (www.doumars.com) Two reasons for stopping here:
1. Our first BBQ sandwich of the trip.
2. The birthplace of the ice cream cone.
How could one pass up such opportunity. The prices were exceptionally reasonable and service was at rapid speed but not with a smile. Our drinks and food were served at the same time. We had to use the outhouse in the back to go to the bathroom with a key on a stick. We illegally snuck a picture of the very first ice cream cone machine for your viewing pleasure. Please do not attempt to make this machine at home.
