Day de DC...now THATS some alliteration....

First off...sorry we haven't had a chance to update!  The hotel we stayed at in DC charges for internet....apparently nice hotels can do that.  Cool.

But let me back up, I'm getting a head of myself. *clears throat*  So we left Nashville, womp womp, and drove the 12 hours it took to get to DC.  So Tennessee is pretty, dont get me wrong...we had some rolling hills and great vistas to look at, but then we arrived in Virginia.  Tennessee quickly because the ugly step child.  So here is how our conversation went for 12 hours:

R: Dude, Kia LOOK...
K: OH MY GODDDD, How BEAUTiful (trying to give you an idea of emphasis here people....)
R: I know right...this will probably never get old...

K: Dude! Oh my goddd...
R: O wow! Geez...this is so NICE
K: what a great drive

ok now add 12 hours of the same talk...IT REALLY NEVER GOT OLD!

Enough Talk...I'll just show you :)







So like I said...our road trip = The Bomb . Com <-- yes I just said that. deal with it.

So after the greatest landscapes ever...we arrived in DC!  We stayed at the the Hyatt Regency at Capitol Hill (freaking whoop....kind of)

So the great thing about this hotel is that we were 2, let me repeat, TWO, blocks from the capitol (just in case you didn't read what the hotel was called...) Our rooms were very nice and our breakfast my have been the best breakfast I've ever had...like...in my life.  MINUS my grandmothers chocolate chip pancakes...because I swear she cooks them in crack...different story for a different day.

So we get to our hotel room and Kia and I are really excited. Then we find out we have to pay for internet...BOOO.  Alas, we prevail and decide lets go out...whatever Hyatt.

We attempt to "pre-game" with Miller light in an ice bucket....fail. But hey, can't say we didn't try.  So as we are getting ready we get this knock on our door...no, we were not expecting anyone.  Load and be hold its security telling us we've received a noise complaint and we need to be more quiet.  LETS REVIEW SHALL WE....


(1 hr earlier)...
Wow, awesome room....
Dude ya...this is great (apparently we say dude a lot, glad were 13 yr old boys circa late 90s)
*Turns on TV to normal sound level of any reasonable human being*
Begin to put on make up...which any girl knows requires looking into a mirror and making a really large "O" shape with your mouth while you go your mascara...i.e. NO NOISE.
If ANYONE can figure out where our noise complaint came from...feel free to let me know...


Moving on...so we go out.  Freaking Word.  We meet up with one of Kia's boys, Cedric and go to this cool area in DC for the "youngins".  Basically we have a BADASS night in DC.  We go back to the hotel to chill...the 3 of us are chatting.  For those of you who know me...I can be loud. I'm WELL aware of this. I am also able to admit when Im being loud...I know loud WELL.   Apparently the 3 of us were too loud and along comes noise complaint 2.  Our definitions of "loud" and our neighbors are very different...So what does one do in a noise complaint conundrum?  A NOISE COMPLAINT WAR.

So a trip to security is had...we move rooms and LETS JUST SAYYYYY, there were no more noise complaints.


So our day in DC was filled with Smithsonian Museums, the National Mall, The Washington Monument, the Lincoln Statue, and the White House....By the by....we definitely walked ALL of that.  Kia's sandals were not "walking long distance" friendly...basically we weren't happy campers by the end of it = LONG ASS NAP IN THE HOTEL.

Ok So the next day is a lot of travel to NYC and thats where have been the last few days. You will get that update tomorrow!

Peace, Love & Photos

DAY DE NASHVILLE

As the previous post announced....

Today Kia and I went es..ploring in Nashville.

First we got lunch at Ted's...nice place known for bison. I got my first bison burger and I must say...it wasn't a whole hell of a lot different, but still tasty.  On our way back from Ted's (we parked our car elsewhere at the next place you will read about) we noticed a LARGE pole on the ground...we tagged this one:

OOPS..



Then we went to the Parthenon at Centennial Park and originally assumed we'd be there for all of 5 minutes because we are far too cheap to pay to go inside....instead we were there for 3 1/2 hours....we made our own fun courtesy of obnoxious photo shoots...see below. You're Welcome.

Because who the hell travels without taking a solid "jumping pic"?  You're welcome Chris.


Kia & Mr. Arnold Palmer...


Having a good time...


I'm realllllly excited here...


Ok so there are tons more HILARIOUS pictures...you will get those when we get home.  

Peace Love & Photos..

As we arrived in Tennessee, we were welcomed with a lovely sign. Thanks TN.

Here are some lovely images of downtown TN via my phone...so no bitching about the blurriness...I tried.











SO we continued to drive, after driving a lot already...then we drove some more and after a copious amount of driving we then drove a little longer and ALAS we reached NASHVILLE where we decided...hey we just drove 12 hours, but whatever lets explore.

For those of you who were concerned...yes I got a Shiner when we went downtown.  A toast to Nashville:

And because we know you miss our faces...


We Love you!

ALAS! We have arrived in Nashville!  We have lots of pictures from the road, but I will post them later.

For all of you who have done the drive from Dallas to College Station, while I know you will be shocked...this is 10x nicer....maybe more.

Over all, the trip took about 12 hours with 2 stops for fast food...this is Kia and I were talking about after all...

I'll post the pictures tomorrow and let everyone know what all we've seen :)

Miss everyone already!
