In case you have the foolish idea that I always live a life of luxury, Dr. P and I are staying at a Holiday Inn Express in Virginia on the border of North Carolina. While the room has free wi-fi (versus broadband for 16 euros a day), a microwave, and fridge, it is not quite the same standard of decor as the hotels that I stayed in with Husband. Which is more than fine.
Nothing exceptional happened on our first day of driving. At a rest stop, I decided to invest in a gallon size insulated mug of Diet Coke. It was $6.99, which is about the same cost as a few bottles of Diet Coke (at $1.25 per 16 ounces in vending machines) plus a free insulated beverage container that I convincede myself that I could use at picnics. The problem with this mug is that it is fucking heavy. Lugging a gallon of Diet Coke to your lips is not as easy as it seems. Also, it looks ridiculous. Every time I go to drink from it, Dr. P and I break into fits of hysterical laughter.
On another note, Happy Father's Day! Dad, I bought you an insulated gallon jug for Diet Coke! Ha ha ha ha.
I think we stayed at that Holiday Inn last year on the way to the Outer Banks. We stayed at the Holiday Inn in or near Rocky Mount, NC.
ReplyDeleteIf "Helter Skelter" is written on the walls in red, it may have been the same room.
So should we expect the mug at next year's Memorial Day picnic?
