.My 2 day getaway.
I hope everybody is doin' okay, ^_^.
Right now I'm doin' alright, just realizing I'm going to be totally and utterly bored today, xP.
Anywhoozles, I shall tell you about my vacay.. Whilst is may be boring I shall still tell you about it, xP. So, haha! xD
...{Onward w/ the vacay Kendra, onward!}...
Well, let me see.. We{meaning me & Dustyn} left around 11 something in the morning considering we had a bunch of running around to do.. We had to go to this body shop to get something out of my mom's car {we had trouble finding it.. If it tells you anything we passed right by it 3 times w/o realizing it, lol}, then we went to my apartment so I could leave my kitties enough food & water for about 2-3 days, then I fed the turtles as well, & then I cleaned up the house a little, had to make a venture up to the rental office and get some leasing issues worked out {which they still aren't totally worked out}, finally we went to pick something up to eat on the way{I think.. I forget if we did or not, lol}, and then we were finally on our way to my mom's house up in Christiansburg {about 30 minutes away for those of you who don't know where that is, xP}. We got up there around 1:30-ish and my mom and them were still not done getting ready.. Figures, lol. My mom always fusses @ me for not being ready & there on time, =P. Anywhoozles, we finally all got cramped into my mom's rental car.. Oy! Talk about a tight squeeze... 2 adults in the front, 2 in the back{me & Dustyn & then Lexi in the middle, xP}. I felt like my thigh was going to fall off from lack of circulation, lol. Now, its just a measly little bruise, xP. Anyways! {sorry I rambel too much, I apologize, xP}. Let me just put it this way.. if Dustyn didn't have GPS on his phone we would have been doomed! I say that with all sincerity, lol. It took us like 3 hours to get down there{to Archdale, NC incase you were wondering} when it was only supposed to take 2 hours and 20 minutes, xP. Anyways, I was relieved when we finally got there, but naturally we only stayed there long enough to check-in{my mom switched rooms on us so she and her hubby could have the room w/ the king-sized bed and made me, Dustyn, and Lexi sleep in the room w/ the 2 double beds, xP}, and then we got all settled into our rooms and then watched TV for maybe a half-hour and then we had to leave b/c some1 wanted dinner, xP. Y'know.. You would figure in a place that has so many freakin' hotels they would've spent more money putting restaurants worth eating at instead of Burger King, Taco Bell and Bojangles, lmao, XD. So, we drove all the way to Asheboro{about 20 or so miles away from Archdale} to find something to eat for dinner.. Well, what a waste of gas that was.. Nothing on that freakin' street either, lol. We just compromised and ate at this place called 'David's'..Even though.. keep in mind Dustyn was tryin' to find some place nicer for us to eat b/c my mom wanted to have a nice dinner since it WAS her & her hubby's 1 yr. anniversary.. He found a street that was a couple miles over, but they didn't wanna drive anymore, so, thats where we ate.. Needless, to say.. it was alright. Although, I wish I didn't order what I did, lol. Now, I know I do not like chicken primevra {well, from there anyways}. I did like the scoop of chocolate ice cream that I got however, lol. Anyways, after we finished eatin' it was time to venture back to the hotel; unfortunately, lol. Once, we got back we were planning on taking Lexi to the pool, but figures that the pool was closed b/c of the rain causing some issues w/ the PH in the water.. Imagine how long she was crying for.. Made me feel bad that they closed the damned thing.. Meanie peoples! xP
Anyways, for the rest of the night we just sat in our room watched TV, I got Lexi ready for bed, read her a couple of bedtime stories & then off to sleep she went, but god knows me and Dustyn were far from tired, lol.. We really just wanted to go somewhere, but were trapped b/c we didn't have a CAR! x_x OY! So, we just entertained ourselves by trying to get the internet to work, but it wouldn't regardless of how much you tried and watchin' TV until we fell asleep from boredom, xP. Its a good thing we finally fell asleep too, b/c let me tell ya my mom expected us to be up & ready by 9am the next mornin'.. Although I didn't find this out until it was like a quarter till 10am. After we all ate breakfast and got ready we left for the Asheboro Zoo {keep in mind throughout this part of the blog that this is supposed to be the NC ZOO, okay? xP} It took us about a good 20 minutes to get to the zoo and once we did we paid the 10 bucks per person to get in and then well.. we started lookin' around @ all of the animals, xP. That is what ya do in a zoo, y'know? lol. Anyways, they have 2 continents within the zoo for their animals; Africa & North America; we went to Africa first thinkin' there are more exciting animals in Africa, xP.
The pathway was about 2 miles long, but since we backtracked a couple of times.. make it 3 miles long for us.. I swear by this point already Kendra was about to collapse.. Little did I know we had like 3 more miles to walk on the other pathway... I'm just glad we stopped to look in the gift shops{I spent like 50 bucks in the 2nd gift shop I had gone into} & to eat a little something{I just had a bag of chips & some dippin' dots}.. b/c afterwards was just a little downhill from there.. Every1 was just pissin' each other off to say the least.. Onward w/ the trip however.. So, we finally went over to see the animals at the North America part.. Well, let me just ask this.. WHERE THE HELL WERE ALL OF THE DAMNED ANIMALS AT? LOL. This guy that worked there said since they've all been fed already they are probably taking their afternoon nap.. So, what a waste of money for that side of the zoo anyways.. I'd say Africa had way, way more things to look @ even though some animals were sleeping, but nowhere near as many. Altogether, we got to see an elephant, rhinos, antelope, lots & lots of ducks {on both sides of the zoo =P}, a couple of gorillas, babboons, birdies, poisonous dart frogs, pink flamingos, alligators, turtles, more birds, some exotic plants, snakes, sea lions, seals, a polar bear, an artic fox, some fish, more froggies, a bald eagle {he was hit by a car.. permanently grounded if that tells you the significance of the damage done.. poor bird, x[}, puffins, some other water birds =P, zebras, giraffes, ostriches, there were supposed to be lions but we didn't get to see anything {figures the animal I want to see is sleeping away in their den}, also.. they didn't have any tigers! {WTH?! O.O}.. anyways, I think I named all of the animals we did see, lol. I don't really recall seeing any others.. either that or I'm just having a brainfart, xP. So, overall we did see a lot of animals, but there were a lot of animals that I would've loved to see, but didn't get to see, x[. Poopieheads they be for sleeping! xP
We figured we walked around a grand total of 5 miles or so.. Boy.. were my feet killin' me by the time we got to finally sit down in the car & go get something to eat for dinner. So, we went to this place called 'Sagebrush Steakhouse'. Well, can you guess what kind of food they served? lol.. Oh, and remember that road Dustyn was mentioning that we should've went to the day before? Well, that was the road we found this on.. Go figure, lol. The dinner was good minus Lexi being a butthead to every1, xP and them getting my steak wrong twice in a row, lol, but I just ate it the 2nd time, b/c both times the steak was a little to rare for my liking, xP. Anywhoozles.. we had a moron for a waitress.. Anything you told her she messed up and didn't care that she did so, x_x. She also charged the bigger amount on my card instead of taking the cash for my mom's, her hubby's and Lexi's order.. I paid 46 bucks and I wasn't too happy, but eh, at least I had the money on my card, lmao. Can't do anything about it now, xP. Okay, so after we left we made our way back to the hotel and then finally got a chance to take Lexi swimming.. Well, she got to go swimming for maybe about 10 minutes and then pooped in her swimming suit.. and then I had to give her a bath and take her back out to the pool and she was all upset b/c about 15 minutes later every1 else that was in the pool wanted to get out of the pool b/c they were too cold.. I would've swam out there w/ her if I had a bathing suit, but didn't.. So, naturally I felt bad again for that. After about 10 minutes of her fussin' she calmed down & then we went back inside to get ready for bed since we had to wake up at 7 in the morn, x_X. After I got Lexi ready for bed and read her, her books she went to sleep and then me and Dustyn were bored.. Yet again, lol. He got hungry and wanted to walk somewhere so he walked to the gas station right next to the hotel since we were practically living off of rice cakes, lol. Anywhoozles, he got some cheeseburger thingy and I got some white cheddar popcorn to munch on.. Other than that we just watched TV until we grew tired again and just went to sleep.. After I woke up and finally got out of the bed around 8am, lol.. I took a shower and got ready and then Dustyn and Lexi were ready by the time I had gotten out of the shower.. So, I just went to get every1 a little bite to eat from where they were serving it in the hotel. After we ate I had to like triple check to make sure we didn't forget anything, b/c yeah.. thats a long way to go get something you forgot, lol. We checked out of the hotel around 9:30 or so and then stopped to get some gas before venturing back home.. Its funny how the trip back home only took 2 and a half hours, eh? lol, xD. Anywhoozles, that still meant me and Dustyn had to drive back to Roanoke from Christiansburg.. so, we just listened to music in the car and once we got back to Roanoke we went to get a little something to eat and then once we got home he had to get ready for work and well, thats that, xP. Thats the end of the vacay, xP.. What a lovely, lovely vacay, eh? xP
And yes, I am finally done blabbing, lol. I've probably done enough blabbing for a couple of weeks, lmao, xD.
Anywhoozles, I hope every1 has a good day/night & I'm sorry to bore ya w/ my little vacay, but I wanted to write about it anyway, xP. So, hahahaha! Hey! Wake up! I know it was boring, but dang.. Was it really that boring? lol. Its probably a lot more boring to read than to actually experience I'm sure, lol.. Although I'm not too sure, lmao, xD.
Okay, okay I'll leave ya be.. I gotta go check my e-mail anyways, xP.
So, take care every1!
To.odles.
