The Stars and the Cookie Jar

...what a lovely drive that was.

I can't decide whether Micro, North Carolina or the Weems-Botts Museum (right here in Virginia) was my favorite place name of the journey.

We introduced darthrami to Waffle House ['Should I get a burger?' "NO!"].

We got cherry limeades and a choco-banana cream pie milk shake.

We ate many things that should not have probably been eaten on the same day.

We hurt thursdays_son's soul.

We amused lunamystic, who is recovering nicely from her high-velocity tumble from a combat wombat.

We listened to way too much evangelical Christian rawk.

And we pretty much remembered not to hold hands or kiss the entire time, especially not in the Waffle House.

Yeah, I don't miss the deep South one bit.
