Chillin' at the HOLIDAY INN!

After a very short 7 hour drive, we finally found a chance to just relax on our vacation, *whew*... The drive wasn't too bad; I think it was easier because I hadn't been out of Texas in a LONNNNG time, so there was a lot of new scenery... TREES! Too many trees to be honest, not very good for taking pictures, haha.

Just a note: Joey's "Twister" was a dirt devil throwing up grass... It was really cool, it was throwing stuff about 30 feet in the air! I wish I could have video taped it.

After a long day of driving we got to the hotel and crashed for a short nap, put to sleep by the wonderful Science Channel... and one of my favorite shows, "How Do They Do It?" I'm a dork, I know. I'm not much of a nap person, but I slept great, only to be woken up by our growling stomachs. Having not eaten anything substantial in 7 hours, haha, it was time for dinner.

We had planned initially to go to The Melting Pot for dinner, part of our "trip plan". Initially that sounded great, but upon arriving in Arkansas, with 4 more hours to go, BBQ crossed Joey's mind (influence from BBQ Pringles? My fault? haha). Of course with 4 hours for our stomachs to start craving BBQ, it had to happen. I found a place that sounded promising, so it was set; great BBQ instead of an expensive birthday dinner, no regrets. Jim 'n Nick's BBQ is THE BOMB!




Now we are happy, full, and sleeeeepy. More blogging to come. We are really looking forward to the 10 hour drive tomorrow! Haha..







This made me think of Brant, haha,
