Tennessee Trip Day Two

Today's trip originally went smoothly.

Originally.

We woke up around 7 AM, and we got out around 9 AM.

My mom wasn't feeling well, but we still went on with the trip.

We stopped at an indian store, and I picked up a few little gifts for Drew and Izzy.

I got a Subway sandwich and ate it, and Tiffany was quiet in the back of the car.

We decided to pull into Tucumcari, New Mexico around 6 o'clock.

It's better to get off the road early and leave early in the morning than end late, which leads to starting late.

It was storming around here, so we went right in the same parking lot and got some dinner.

Right after we got our dinner salads all made... the power went out in the restaurant.

"Oh crap."

We figure it's just a transformer in the restaurant.

Logical, right?

Someone comes in, and we ask them if there's power in the hotel.

"Nope."
Damnit.

We ate our dinner at the restaurant, even though it was getting majorly muggy. (No air conditioning and all.)
We had to pay cash, since there was no way to use a credit card.

We get back to the hotel, and not only is there no power, but our smoke alarm is going off.

Peaches and cream.

We decide to pack up the car and go to another hotel all the way in Amarillo, which is 100 miles away.

We pack up the car, get IN the car, put the key in the ignition...

and all the power comes back on in the hotel.

Thanks god, haha. Haha. Funny, funny joke.

So we're staying at that hotel now.
I've been collecting postcards from each state we drive through. So far, I have two.

Also, I tried commenting on all of your blogs.

But my internet is heinously slow. So hopefully I can comment you guys tomorrow.

I'm still trying to be the best blogger I can be!
