August 26, 2002Grandparents, Huddle House, & 3amJust as crazy as Saturday, if not worse. It started out by having to pack all our stuff since we had to vacate the camp ground by 11. Mark and Julia had to pack up the RV and get it ready for travel. I never knew how much work went into maintaining one of those. I think I'll stick with hotels. We were slightly late arriving at the mall, but we got there. Jeff & I immediately headed to Wal Mart to pick up a few things for the staffers. We also made a quick stop at Krispie Kreme for some delicious doughnuts. From the time we got back until the show was over, it was all about scoring. Most of it had been settled Saturday night, but there were a lot of little details to finish up. Trash detail began for Jeff & I, after awards were over. From the beginning of this show seaon, Jeff & I somehow always end up getting this job. And it's not because anyone asks us to. I think it mainly because the taking down of tents, packing up the trailers, etc flows pretty smoothly with the rest of the staff. So, we spent the next hour picking up other people's junk from the parking lot. Oh yay. After a brief visit to the mall for some Dippin' Dots, we headed out. Destination, Kingstree. My grandparents only live an hour and a half from the Beach, so I couldn't drive all the way down there, and not stop in to see them. Ran into some rain on the way there, but finally made it around 6pm. Had a nice visit; I hadn't seen them in about a year. Got to show Jeff their house, where my dad grew up and on the way out the "rest" of Kingstree and the infamous Huddle House. I say it like that because Kingstree is very small; Bridgewater size. Smaller than Radford, mostly because there's no college there. So ok, on we go. We got on the road shortly before 9, stopped in Lake City for some Taco Bell and more Sonic. Hey, have to get it while we can! Like Jeff said Monday, I'm not sure how we made it home that night. We rolled into Richmond at 3:30am and immediately fell into bed. So now I'm all caught up on my work and ready to go home! Hopefully Jeff & Eric can get the Cat 5 run tonight, before the drywall goes up.

Anyway, kudos to you guys for making it home. Mike and I would have been sounds asleep, with one of us driving, and it would have gotten pretty hairy--like that car commercial where the marketing chick recommends "aromatherapy candles" and you get to see what the results are? heehee Posted by: Lolo on August 31, 2002 10:22 PMMmmmm..aromatherapy candles...
