Things We Learned:
- Planning is Fundamental.
- In leiu of planning, a good detailed map is better than Jesus on a hot fudge sundae.
- Sometimes gorgeous capitals exist in craphole towns (i.e. Springfield).
- Memphis Stinks!
- New Orleans is kind of a bummer the week AFTER Marti Gras.
- A slurey of stale beer, vomit, sex and river stink is actually kind of nausiating when sober.
- You can use both "Honey" and "Sugar" as terms of endearment within the same sentance.
- Every food item in a Waffle House looks exactly like a mushy pile of grits.
- Chic-Fil-A has spicy chicken for no damn reason.
- People in Kentucky cannot process a simple credit card transaction.
- West Virginia has the most beautiful capitol we have ever seen (and Madison is a good one.)
- Onz does have the power to crurse NFL teams by stoping by their stadiums (i.e. Titans & Saints)
- Ohio has quite possibly the most butt ugly captial in existance.
- Indiana simply positively will never end.
- Well timed stops and driver switches will are like line chanegs in hockey, forget about them and you are pucked.
- Never screw with the timing of a road trip no matter how much you want to quit.
- Traffic Jams rank only below construction on the Road Trip Shitlist.
