I am in Atlanta now at will's house. It was quite a trip. I woke up normal time on saturday and went to work. Then I left as soon as possible once we closed so I could get back and pack up and head out. I was able to borrow a laptop from work too, that is what I'm using right now to type this entry. So anyway I got back to my room and got everything ready and I headed out of my dorm at around 4:00. Then I went around to pick up Rachel and all her things from her dorm (we were giving her a ride to atlanta too). Then once she was all packed up I swung by and picked up Will. Then we hit the road right around 4:30. The Trip went surpisingly well up to Atlanta. We only got turned around once when we got to Danville. But we figured it out almost right away and we stopped and asked for directions and we were back on the right track in less then 15 minutes. We stopped for dinner around 7:00 at Subway and then we also stopped around 12:30 for a late night treat at Dairy Queen. Rachel was really nice and she bought me dinner and a tank of Gas. I was getting 24MPG on my Van too and that was really cool. I only had to fill up once on the trip down. Also at one point during the trip a cop pulled me over. He said I was supposedly going 76 in a 65. I know I wasn't going that fast (unless my speedomoter is messed up) but I was also keeping up in traffic, and I was even getting passed at some points. But he ended up letting me off with a warning. He saw that my licence plate was Washington and so was my drivers license and he just reminded me that on that strech of the highway it was 65 and not 70. (We just got through a 70MPH section) So I'm thankful to God that is all that happend. Will had a SOBE in his hand at the time and he thought it might have been alcohol so he had to examine it closer. But realized it was just a herbal drink and gave it back. After that it was just a straight long shot to Atlanta. We listend to all kinds of music and chatted and just had a good time. once it got past 11:00 we were in that really tired but really goofy mood so that made things pretty interesting. During a couple points of the drive I halucinated and saw people crossing the street when there really wasn't and things like that. It was crazy. Once we got to Atlanta that is when the trip kind of got off track. We were trying to find Stone Mountain so we could drop off rachel but we never saw the exit and we missed it completely.. we went almost 75 miles in the wrong direction before we decided to turn around and go the other way. We ended up calling Rachel's Uncle 5 times before we finally found where we needed to go. By the time we got to her house it was 2:30am and we had gone 150 miles out of the way. But it was still fun, we get to know each other really well when we're in a goofy mood at 2:00 in the morning. But once we dropped her off it was a straight shot right to Will's house we were here at about 3:00am. We just grabbed what we needed to sleep out of the van and came right in and after just saying Hi to his mom and getting settled a bit we went right to sleep. Will says I slept like a Rock and I snored really loud. I don't know if I believe him but anyway... =). Alright well that pretty much covers our trip. I think I'm going to quit here and finish my post for today before I head to sleep tonght. So blog at ya later!
