On our way to South Carolina for that adventure race, a few funny things happened.
The first night we stopped at a hotel before driving another 9 hours to the camp grounds. We checked in at 1am, got our key, and headed up to the second floor to our room. Hill swipes the card, it works, and she swings the door open. I am about 3 feet behind her and this is how our converastion went:
Jen: "is anybody hoooome???"
Hill: "ummmmm..."
Jen: "WHAT?! I WAS JUST KIDDING!!!" --in one of those panicked whispers
Hill: "there are shoes and socks on the floor..."
**By now all 4 of us are peering into the doorway, and Hillary tip-toes in and immediately comes scrambling back out
Hill: "there's someone in the bed!!!"
Yea, that's right. They gave us the key to a room that was already taken. haha goooood times. Ok the next thing was a conversation that I like to call, "Virginia vs. the world"
We are driving on this 1 lane windy back road. You know, the kind where if you get stuck behind someone slow you hate life? yea. So Hill is driving, I am sitting in the passenger seat and Matt and Maureen are in the back.
So then Matt says to us, "Well when there is a dotted line we can just pass them."
and I turn around to look at Matt and I just give him this look like, umm duh matt, we have our licenses... aaaaand he goes, "Yea, you know that solid white line in the middle of the street? When it becomes dashed then we are allowed to pass the car in front of us" haha So now we are just in shock. Hillary, Maureen, and myself are just looking at each other with blank faces because we just don't know if he is being serious or what. So he continues to explain this driving rule like we have no idea what he is talking about!! I go to Hill, "Does he know that we drive too??" Like, i said that out loud. haha and Matt thought for some reason that we didn't think we didn't know! This went on for quite some time until finally someone said, "Matt, we know!!!" Apparently he thought driving laws in the northeast were different then Virginia laws ...
haha damn Virginians. (except a select few) :)
