Epic Road Trip For The Ages. Days 1 & 2

Day 1, 7/17
Road TRIP!!!
So after spending the night at the smith household and getting 2 hours of sleep at the most, we woke up at 5:30 am and departed. John Baker, Dutch Smith, Josh Smith, Dan Huntington and Jaron Pak. These are the experiences which took place from that point on…
We got about 5 minutes into the trip and decided to stop at Timmy Ho’s upon walking in, we noticed 5 men, sitting in the corner and came to the realization that we were looking at our future selves! Dan was the dude with high white socks. Naturally.
We returned to the road, and the chaos ensued. An individual, who shall remain unnamed for his own safety, dropped a tim hortons iced capp cup out the window, thereby killing countless numbers of panda bears all over the world. And coincidentally attacking a lady driving a Volvo.
So then she passed us,
And we followed her for about 75 miles…
At the boarder of Penn and NY, we stopped at the welcome center and it was NOT WELCOMING! Dan, walked inside, noticing a sign that said “smile, you’re in Pennsylvania.” He started grinning widely. Strutting inside with a natural buoyancy only a road trip could cause, he walked toward the bathroom. Suddenly, a stoic gentleman with a crooked mustache stopped him saying, “where are your shoes?!” Dan suddenly realized, he was barefoot! So he replied, “I left them in NY.” But this answer did not suffice and Dan was refused the right to urinate inside. So he did so, outside.
This was only the start of our adventures in the hell hole known as Pennsylvania. Ask Joe Biden, nothing good comes out of there. We started our trip into the center of Philadelphia. Easier said than done, one essential element is to actually exit on the right exit. We finally did make it into the city and dang was it impressive. We find a parking garage (which cost us 17 bucks altogether) and started walking. We were trying to reach Genos, world famous Philly Cheese steaks. We thought, maybe a couple minutes away? No, it took about 45 minutes to walk all the way there. But dang, those cheese steaks were freaking awesome but be warned. The hot sauce, happens to actually be pretty hot. In fact, your mouth will start bleeding if you’re not careful.
We have the creepy ability to hit EVERY SINGLE TRAFFIC JAM.
As the trip progressed, we slowly but surely lost any sign of previous sanity we held to. Songs of hatred for Pennsylvania would sporadically break out.
Eventually, at about 11 we reached the campsite. (After being chased down by a police officer down the hiking trail path) Nobody wanted to set up camp though so we started walking to the beach and came out on the dunes. It was insane, you could see the bridge lit up across the Chesapeake bay. And then we saw the sand crabs come up everywhere and begin chasing us across the beach! Finally we escaped and still didn’t’ want to set up camp so we took the sleeping bags and pillows underneath a boardwalk, in the sand. It was intense, during the night, a security guard walked right over us, talking into his radio, trying to hunt down us fugitives.

But we survived.

Day 2, 7/18
Waking up under the boardwalk about 5:30, we ditched that place pronto and returned to our site. We STILL didn’t want to set up camp so we slept in the van for about 2 hours. Dutch, Dan and Jaron went to go ask about switching campsites and they were assisted by… Scott, some freakish being who could only be produced by Pennsylvania itself. Coincidentally, he enjoyed pushing over little girls on concrete for fun. Terrible fellow, quite a douche I'd say. He also broke into our campsite and ate our donuts and bread! finally we got our site switched up for this sweet spot. We set up camp mad fast and took off for the beach, started collecting shells and avoiding crabs, and stingrays… and people exercising…
After that, everyone was dying for some real food, so we went grocery shopping! Found this place called blooms, a different kind of grocery store. They specialized in rippin us off! One big plus on the store was the free beer samples… which we all avoided… of course… And they had huge sugar canes. Which tasted like wet cardboard but it was still cool to try out. After returning, we went back to the beach and took out good ol’ free Billy Mays. That’s right, Billy Mays, the whale. Unfortunately he is slightly retarded and Dan doesn’t treat him too well. But he loves us anyway. Especially Jaron. At the beach, we tried playing soccer, and volleyball and Frisbee. Failing miserably, but Billy Mays STILL accepted us. Next we dug up some chairs in the sand and chilled. Then we jumped in the water and I got stung by a stupid Jellyfish! And then we left, and had some madd awesome chicken, thanks to Dutch’s good call on the food selection.
After dinner we, went to the Beach, Who saw that coming? The sunset was downright terrific. Then we got back to our site and did absolutely nothing productive. After some guitar and a Bible study we called it a day and snoozed.
That tent was way too tight for comfort. Apparently Jaron and Josh ganged up on Dutch in the night and kicked him out of the tent. It was violent and bloody.

OK, Days 3 and on will be up soon enough, hope everyone is having an awesome time despite our absence =P
