Don LOVES a road trip, I swear he was meant to be a truck driver. Me, I hate being in the car, I hate sitting for long periods of time. At least I don’t have to drive. I hate driving more than sitting for long periods. During our long drives he becomes a Chatty Cathy and I become a monk taking a vow of silence. We are terrible road trip partners. He likes to listen to classic rock 🙄 I prefer adult contemporary. Since Don is the driver I let him listen to his music of choice (secretly in hopes he shuts the fuck up and stops pointing every little thing out to me) until a song comes on that makes me murderous (Metallica anyone?) and then I take over as DJ.
This adventure will be taking us to Boston, Salem then into New Brunswick, Nova Scotia and Prince Edward Island. As we make our way back to southern Ontario I am hoping to stop in Quebec City. When I suggested this, Don responded “Why? We have been there three times.” And then he continued to roll his eyes so far back into his head I thought I would have to call a priest to do an exorcist.
The following is its and bits from our first day on the road. Enjoy the entertainment….
Almost three hours into our drive, Don has made the fatal mistake of not feeding me, as we are cruising down some NY State Thruway –
Me – Ooooo look Shake Shack!
Don – What is Shake Shack?
Me – I don’t know. I have seen it before though.
Don – Where?
Me – I don’t know, social media. Let me look it up.
I google Shake Shack –
Me – Oh yes! Now I remember, there is one in Toronto!
Don – Ok.
Me – proceed to scroll through the menu telling Don what is on it, showing him pictures of the food and milkshakes. – It kinda of looks like a Harvey’s.
Don – 😶
Me – Look! Do you see it? Do you see the logo on the drink glasses?
Don – Yep
For your comparison
Let me show you the burgers…. They will make you hungry.
A little down the road –
Don – There is your Shake Shack again, do you want to stop?
Me – No. I feel like new foods and milkshakes at the start of the road trip is a terrible idea.
Don – I have just under half a tank of gas, I will stop soon for gas and food.
Me – Ok.
A little down the road Don stops for gas –
Me – I thought we were eating?
Don – No.
Me – You said we were stopping for gas and food.
Don – No, I said I was stopping for gas.
Me –
Don – If you want food go get it 👉
Me – I DON’T WANT BURGER KING!
RIP DON – He will be ☠️ due to encouraging my hanger……
Brave boy, waiting like TWO HOURS to feed me.
Drum roll please…….
Burger King. We had Burger King. 🤬 I could have had that when we stopped for a pee break AND for gas. AT TWO DIFFERENT FUCKING PLACES.
Tootling down the Massachusetts Pike –
Don – Look! Their sign has a witches hat on it!
Me – Nope, it is a pilgrim hat.
Don – No, it is a witches hat.
Me – 🙄 – nope it is not. It is a pilgrims hat for when the pilgrims came.
Don – I don’t think so.
Let me show you, and you can decide.
Well? Witches hat or pilgrims hat?
Oh and here is the meaning behind it….
Nothing to do with witches. That will be our next stop.
Lastly, we finally call it a night after a very long day of travel and walking around, we get back to the hotel, I unpack the few necessities I need to get ready for bed and I DID NOT PACK A BRUSH! 🤦🏻♀️
Don – Well there is a seven- eleven right downstairs we can get one there.
Me – If I am going to pay convenience store prices for a brush, I am going to Sephora. It is going to cost me the same, at least I can brag I got it at Sephora and not seven- eleven.
Don – 🙄
Quoting the infamous Bugs Bunny “That’s All Folks!”
Until tomorrow 😚
