After our first week with campers, we finally had a weekend off and decided to go to eat at TGI Fridays. We made a quick trip up to the horses to feed them and noticed a storm blowing in. It was promptly ignored and we headed out.
About a mile down the road, it started raining and hailing. We pressed on, crossed the dam, and GOT HIT WITH A GIANT TORNADO. Not really..but it actually just missed us. There were giant tree limbs all over the road and a truck in our lane got crushed by a falling tree. It was so insane.
After we ate, we had to go back another way home since they closed the dam. It was bumper to bumper due to a wreck and when we finally got through it there was a $6 toll booth. Between Jamers and I, we didn't have enough money and decided to drive through the EZ-Pass lane without a tag. In Texas, pretty sure they mail it to you...but in Maryland, giant alarms go off and all the green lights turn red and start flashing. We were so scared we sped off and took the first exit. The rest of the way home, we kept looking in our mirrors convinced the cops were going to hunt us down. I went back to camp and Googled it and all you have to do is call in and pay the toll...I think their means of communicating that to us was a bit excessive!
All in the name of adventure.
Summary of a trip to the grocery store with an international staff member:
Gilly: "then you put chips on top of it"
Me: "you cover it in french fries?!"
Gilly: "NO...CRISPS! THAT'S THE LAST TIME I TRANSLATE."
