The Great Migration...
I pulled out of Conroe, Tx on July 30th with a large u-haul trailer hooked to my Jeep and headed to Mt. Pleasant. On Monday, August 1st, Bubba and I began the trip out of Texas and through Oklahoma, Colorado, Wyoming, and finally into Idaho.
It took us two days of driving until 11 or 12 each night. Because of the trailer we averaged about 60 mph. We stopped a lot on the second day because we were tired of the car. It probably took us about 26 hrs of total drive time.
I am happy to report that at no point did Bubba poke me like I feared he might. We only argued a little bit and over all, it was a pleasant trip. We talked, listened to Celine, talked some more, ate, neither one of us slept, and we mastered pulling the trailer. We did not leave on our first day until noon and so in the future, I would start as earlier on the first day. That way I wouldn't have to drive as long on the second day. Driving across Wyoming is by far the longest part of the trip... Oklahoma has the worst highway... and having reservations at the hotels would have been easier and ensured that we didn't get stuck in a stinky room like the first night.
When we arrived in Pocatello, we stayed at the Best Western. They only had three rooms 2 of them had queen beds and one had a king. We took the king. Turns out, it was the honeymoon suit... That's right people, I stayed in the Honeymoon suit with my brother... It had a giant bathtub in the room next to the bed... it was crazy. I told Bubba that we would never tell anyone that we stayed in the Honeymoon Suit together but it is just too funny not to mention.
Bubba was very helpful and pretty much moved me in. I really only helped him with the washer and dryer. I have since unpacked everything and need to only hang pictures and stuff on the wall. Once I get everything looking cute I will post some pictures for all to see.
