Hi!

My mom told me that I should start a blog.

And you all know I always listen to my mommy.

So, here I go.

I've heard my facebook statuses are generally interesting and people enjoy reading them. I figured, hey, if people want to listen to my thoughts, here's a great place to do it. Unlike on a facebook status, I can write ALL I want on this blog. Ha.

The Drive

Driving eleven hours by myself was definitely boring. Although, if someone would have been with me, they would have killed themselves. I listened to 2 mixes, big band, the Annie soundtrack, Memphis, and Mama Mia...twice. So, overall, I guess it was good I was alone. I was able to keep myself company for the most part. Ok, yeah, I did talk to myself a little on the trip down. I got lonely!

Here are a couple of highlights from my trip. Keep in mind, I was extremely bored.

I was at a travel plaza and I overheard some guy ask his friend, "Hey, are there bathrooms in there? (pointing to the plaza).
...does anyone else think this is a stupid question? Why, yes, travel plazas have a giftshop, food, and maps...but no bathrooms. That makes complete sense, right? FACEPALM.

Virginia has numerous interesting street and city names. I personally think Spotsylvania sounds like an interesting place. I would go there. I would also like to check out Scotchtown. Wonder how they got their name...
However, I don't really want to go to Croaker. That doesn't sound like fun. Another interesting city is Dumfries. It's right next to Smartfries.

Ok, don't judge me. I'm easily amused. You all know that.

A road I don't want to travel on is Gallows Drive. I feel like that would result in me being hanged. I do want to know why it's called Gallows Drive...I also don't want to drive down Henpeck Road. I feel like it's another road to death. However, instead of being hanged, I will be pecked to death by hens.

I wouldn't mind driving down Good Hope Road, though. That sounds like a pleasant drive without a noose or sharp beaks.

Did you know there is a National Park called Prince William Forest Park.

...

Is anyone else confused by this? When I first saw it, I thought I somehow drove to England instead of Williamsburg!

Why do we have a National Park named after Prince William? Do they have a Michelle Obama Palace or a Tower of D.C. in England? No. Do we not have enough people in the United States, so we have to borrow famous people from other countries in order to name our National Parks? I feel like this could be classified as treason...

Alright, that was pretty much my drive to Williamsburg. Obviously, I found ways to at least keep myself somewhat entertained.

Today I am moving into my room. Then I am planning on exploring and figuring out where I have to go tomorrow. Ciao for now.
