So @ 2 in the morning I woke up from this amazing dream about a dudes face i could never see. So this just popped into my head:

Addicted to that bad boy swagg.
His urban cloths & drinking habits.

Just like Drake he always poppin champainge & treats me like a victorian secrets model when we hang.

Needless to say, with the lack of entertainment and food options nearby, I opted to spend my time in the hotel ...

... battery-operated fan for hot nights in the tent (there weren't too many of those nights), a bottle of Germ-X I kept in the driver's door pocket, bottle of window cleaner and lots of paper towels, and a little notebook so I could make notes about the pictures I took (can't remember the names of all the lakes, etc. after time passes).

Things I didn't need (fortunately): hydraulic tire jack, mounted full-size spare tire, OTC ...

... PARK; I
GRABBED THE MUG BEFORE WE LEFT. I HAVE WAITED TWO YEARS
FOR THIS VERY MOMENT. WATCHING HER DRINK ROOT BEER OUT OF
HER LITTLE MUG. OF COURSE, IT BROUGHT BACK MEMORIES OF
WATCHING AND HELPING HER DAD DRINK ROOT BEER. BACK THEN
YOU COULD BUY LITTLE CHILDREN ROOT BEER IN ONE OF THESE
LITTLE FROSTED MUGS. WHAT A WONDERFUL TIME. WE HAD THIS
DAY. THANK YOU, FATHER!!

... PICKED UP
SOME LUNCH. WE ATE IT UP THERE ON THE
MOUNTAIN. THERE ARE CABINS, CAMPING
SPOTS, ALSO. IT WOULD BE FUN STAYING IN
ONE OF THE CABINS LATE IN THE FALL.
THEY HAVE FIREPLACES, AS FAR AS I
KNOW. WE WILL CHECK IT OUT. THANK
YOU FATHER FOR THE BEAUTIFUL WORLD
YOU HAVE CREATED FOR US...AND FOR
THE BEAUTIFUL GRAND-DAUGHTER WE GET
TO ENJOY!.
