Yay! Awesome pics! You guys look young... Even you Aaron
I'm not sure I trust Boyd. The way he's leaning, he looks ornery, like he'd lead you on a wild goosechase down gravel roads and when, after hours in the hot sun without a bathroom break or an energy bar, he'd ask you to get out of the car to check the back tire ("It's feeling a little sluggish"), and then he'd take off and leave you to run behind the car for awhile, just to hear you cry.
Oh Boyd, you're my kind of guy!
AQ is so evil. Gotta love her! Sounds like you're in for an interesting road trip.
What a motley crew! Okay, you have your gadfly, technical genius, hotel reservation whiz, storyteller, thrifty travel expert, faux Sacagawea, speed-eater, and trip handyman, but you have forgotten the most important person for the trip …. Snack coordinator and organizer!
Yeah, you’ll be ridin’ along, all fun like, until someone wants a Twinkie, or the Frito bean dip, and then you’ll say, “Gee, I wish we had brought Happy Bunny along with us.” Live and learn, my friends, live and learn.
See, there is a reason I begged you guys to take me along.
