*The fireworks stores that we saw throughout our trip. They sell them all the time and these stores aren’t tiny either! We constantly saw billboards advertising them. In Idaho we only have fireworks near the 4th of July.
*The “Flower” loop on the freeway the GPS lady (Whom I’ve dubbed “Trixie) made us go on at least 4 times. I was laughing so hard I was crying as we kept making circles trying to figure out what the heck she was trying to have us do.
*Trying to find each other in the food court at Mall of America. They have 2 and it’s a bit confusing following the directions from one to another.
*Kayla’s many “I need this buddy” moments.
*Construction zones everywhere..
*Not being able to get in parking or our room with our code cards in Nashville because they had accidentally checked us out early. (But our stuff was fine still in our room.)
*The Minneapolis motel trying to charge us more for our room – luckily we had our confirmation email and they changed it back.
*Going down in Minneapolis to eat the continental breakfast and finding not one free seat plus people eating in the lobby. So we had to balance our food and take it the 18 floors up to our room.
*Waiting 15 minutes for the “Will Call” booth at the Twins game to print out our free hot dog and soda coupons.
*My husband not being able to find Red Vine licorice anywhere. All they had was Twizzlers and that just doesn’t pass with him.
*All the trash and how dirty Memphis was.
*Rest stops. The one that said, “this is a storm shelter.” The one that had no toilet paper in the women’s restroom in any of the stalls so we sent Eliseo in to get some from the men’s which also had NO toilet paper in any stalls. And the cute quaint rest stops in Arkansas?? That we didn’t get a chance to stop at. Also the visitor information centers that most states have at their rest stops (that ours doesn’t have.)
*The dead raccoon by the Nebraska state sign that is the first dead animal Kayla has seen. She was so sad that it died that she cried in the car on the way back.
*The deer that Kayla and I got to walk up pretty close to and I took pictures of only to realize later that I’d not zoomed in with the lens.
*The food in Keystone, South Dakota. Maybe we picked bad places but it wasn’t the best and it was overpriced.
*The 6 bags of licorice that Eliseo had Kamica buy at Shopko because he couldn’t find Red Vine anywhere else. Each bag was 1 lb totaling 6 lbs of licorice.
*Trying to pronounce city names and Eliseo and I always having a different spin on the pronunciation.
*Gas prices! They were better than Idaho and we thought they’d be worse.
*Eliseo talking to GPS lady when the directional tone bell went off – “What do you mean – duh duh?” (Imitating the sound of the tone)
*The motorcycle guy yelling at us in Cody, Wyoming – “Are you kidding me? Are you kidding me? GO! GO!
*Kamica’s pajama top that she finally found to go with her pants and it had a hole in it so she had to return it.
