Which is why I knew catastrophe was imminent.
We arranged a 6 am wake-up call with the Holiday Inn and all five of us were up and out by 7:00 am. Joe practically skipped out the door in anticipation of his carefully-crafted detour through Tucker, Georgia. And for anyone who knows my husband, he is not exactly known as a "skipper."
We slowly pulled into the parking lot of the restaurant and Joe immediately sensed something was wrong. Not one single car could be found. We were completely alone.
And Matthew's Cafeteria was closed on the weekend.
Joe's rant could be heard across several states, and the boys learned that there were in fact a few curse words my husband saves for the most special of occasions.
Not being one to let a vacation disaster go undocumented, I quickly captured my husband's priceless look of complete aggravation and homicidal rage with my trusty camera:
So I'll leave you with this image and the knowledge that things only got worse from this point on.
Because a good vacation is hardly worth a single paragraph.
A disastrous vacation, on the other hand, is an entirely different story.
Oh Joe!!! I can only imagine the words coming out of your mouth. In fact, it looks like your lovely bride captured you during one of those lovely words reserved for occasions like this. I still love you though!

Oh, that really sucks! A good plate of biscuits and gravy is worth a rant.
ReplyDeleteI feel his pain... I hate it when a carefully crafted plan goes awry because of something like that.
ReplyDeletebtw - what the heck kind of diner isn't open on the weekends??
Hehehehehe, good shot!
ReplyDeleteOh, I know that look! Ican't wait for the next installment!
ReplyDeleteSo folks there just have huge breakfasts during the week? Insane!
ReplyDeleteHad to read this to my husband, Marianne.
ReplyDeleteTriple D is one of his favorite shows.
No biscuits and gravy on the weekend? He would've been cussing a blue streak.
Poor Joe.
I'm afraid to hear the rest of the story!
Hmmm, something strange happened with comments, the one that you left in my blog disappeared in the "Crack Wife" - blogger must be eXperiencing hiccups, melt downs, or fogginess of circuitry.
