* The "Willy Wonka Theory" (well you see before the Breyer Premiere Amanda cam up with the theory that it was going to be like the Chocolate Factory and we were all going to disappear one by one until only one of us was left and we would inherit the factory ... We even thought up Oompa Loompas ... but they were blue and yellow like the Breyer colors . )

* The Great Nothing of Ohio (its amazing how boring Ohio is in the dark at the end of a long roadtrip ... Lots and Lots of dark nothingness . )

* "Blind Person Area" (ever seen that street sign before ??? We hadn't ... turns out it was near a building for the handicapped and blind ... Silly)

* "Room sales in February is like Christmas in July " ... (so we were REALLY excited about roomsaling at the Premiere !)

* ok ... so at 10:30 AM when we are hungry what did we crave ? well as Amanda so aptly put it ... " Steak ! and Lobster ! and OH Baked potato ! and OH Shrimp ! "

* Tudor's Biscuit World . (just cracked us up and we saw a LOT of them in West Virginia !)

* Weston WV ( our newest issueville ... :) )

* "NO MORE antique malls in WV OK ??? Oh look ! Giant antique mall , next exit , lets go! " (us when we realized how long it was taking us to get through WV cuz of our detours ... and then us breaking our new rule . :):):) )

* "the Grease Monkey ??? Whod wanna eat there ?" (Amanda ... when hunger took over and we got slap happy .)

* Crazy Dave's . (see we see this sign saying Crazy Dave's Tack Shop ... next exit ) we So never found it ... Damn Crazy Dave moving the Tack Store on us ! )

* Bloody Hell and Criminy (so we picked up a few new words on our travels . Actually I got Bloody Hell from Buffy and Manda got Criminy from ... who knows ? )

* The "Rugged Look" and auburn colored hair . Seemed mighty popular in NJ and NY ... And damn the rugged look is a fine look on the guys !

* The Scary Freaky Underground Theater ( we go to this theater in NJ to see Kate and Leopold . And the Theater was underground . And it had like 3 employees and all were unhelpful . And the movie started like over an hour late . And the theater was playing some American Movies and some Indian Movies . And since ours was so late (cuz they started the previous show late) they let us movie hop for a while . And the theaters were all almost empty . and dirty . and it was Scary . )

* The Scary Econolodge (So we had bad luck in New Jersey for the most part ... This hotel smelled . and the lock was broken on our door and we barricaded it at night and the heater was broken and the Tv was broken and the sheets were holey and our nightshirts smelled afterwards . It was icky and bad . )

* "What the Hey-ell ??? " (had to be said silly like that ... )

* "It's not really steep , it just feels steep because it's cold " (Amanda commenting on the slippery underground parking in Canada ... The ramp was icy ...)

* "NO PARLE VOUS FRANCAIS!!!" ( we came up with this after getting stopped by Customs coming back into the US from Canada ... nervousness and all . Told Manda that as we pulled up to the gate she shoulda yelled repeatedly "no parle vous francais , no parle vous francais !!!" )

* Customs ... more about it . The customs lady was mean ... She asked "citizenship?" and Amanda answered "yes" ... lady got mean and was all "Its not a yes or no question ma'am !" She made us go inside too ... It was kinda scary :):))

* Canadian ... Everything . See in Canadia , when you are tired and blonde and silly everything becomes Canadian ... it was Canadian sugar , and Canadian asphalt and Canadian air ... you get the picture . :)

* UNSAFE PASSENGER !!!! (ok so ever read the airbag warning in your car ? it says stuff like don't lean too close to the airbag , wear your seatbelt , keep your seat forward , nothing sharp between you and the airbag ... well one day in the PetSmart parking lot i became UNSAFE PASSENGER ... leaning close to the dash while pushing the seat back and holding my hairbrush over the airbag (bristle side up of course) while NOT wearing my seatbelt ... we went over speedbumps . it was scary . i coulda DIED!!! check the scary pics
here and here ...)

* The Sleepover ... So how do you cram 6 people into a tiny house with no furniture ? The floor works .

* The walkie talkies at the HIN ... Roger Roger ! Whats your vector Victor ? And of course 1/2 the HIN was on our radio band too ... got confuzzling . 'course at the KHP we were picking up Breyer people on it ...

* "We are driving a truck , driving a BIG old truck ... " Slap happiness insues at the HIN . said over the radios again too . :)

* Go ME! Or Go You . or Go Them . Whatever . its fun to be your own private cheering squad .

* The fun people we kept running into at the HIN and KHP ... Most we knew from previous years ... Made some new friends too .

*The Pillow Pony . My Bainbridge Darfendi that i bought at 'Fest and was cradling in her bubble wrap for the whole night . She is my fave horse now !
