If Baptists Take Over, I'll Be Burned at the Stake

I am currently blogging to you guys from Myrtle Beach, South Carolina! The weather is phenomenal! Tomorrow I get to spend the entire day on the beach with my family. Tanning, body surfing and drinks. How much better can it get? It was an adventure getting down here, thought. That's for sure. We will back track to last night.

Last night we didn't get to sleep till probably after 4am. Why? Well, our hotel was hosting like two different family reunions and the people in the room next to us were extremely drunk and extremely loud and obnoxious. It reminded me of college, but then college is never as noisy as that thanks to the RAs. Seeing as there are no RAs in hotels, it make it very difficult. No amount of headphones or anything helped. And then when my parents started to snore that was the end. So needless to say, we were all very tired leaving the hotel this morning from Norfolk.

The trip from Norfolk to Myrtle Beach is the longest and most boring trip imaginable. There is nothing to see except trees and the occasional run down house or abandoned building. There are also a lot of fields. And corn. Lots of that too. But the trip started off with a nap. It wasn't a long nap but an hour was okay. When I woke up I discovered we were in traffic. Traffic that was stopped dead. So an hour into our trip we sat in stopped traffic for a half an hour. We did get to see two lifestar helicopters land on the the highway and take people away. We think it might have been a motorcycle accident, but who knows. It was still interesting. Not long after the traffic started moving again we saw a pick up truck ahead of us. A normal pick up truck, with a man sitting in the back of the truck. Yup. That's the South for you.

Eventually we traveled and traveled and made it into a remote part of South Carolina. This was after we had left the tourist attraction called South of the Border and after this creepy kid from Eastern started talking with me again. The last time he talked to me he wanted a date. This time he wanted a date. No offense, but you are skeevy. I thought so freshman year and still think so. Okay. Now this remote part of South Carolina is something else. There isn't much to see. Not much traffic and not much of anything else. Most of the sporadically placed houses are simply trailers and that's it. There are so many different run down and abandoned places and some of the towns we passed through were all boarded up. It is a very poor place to be. The other thing there was a lot of were baptist churches. Now I am not religious at all. I looked over at my sister and told her that if for some reason Baptists ever took over the world I would probably be burned at the stake for being Satan or something.

But we made it! We got there and unloaded and then ended up going swimming in the hotel pool with my Aunt Karen, Mom-Mom and cousin Nick. We eventually came back to the room, changed, went out for some dinner and then went grocery shopping. Now we are back at the condo and just relaxing. I cannot wait to go to bed and actually get some sleep. Tomorrow is the beach all day and then having a giant pasta dinner and celebration for my cousin's cousin who is starting college this year. Lots of stuff to do!
