Brighter days

Waking weight: 199.4

Mood: awesome, less manic than the previous two days.

Today is already the best day in a while. 

Iced coffee makes every day the best day.

 We slept in, got up late, and felt good about wasting the day.

So we left a note for our guests, hopped in the car, and drove to Busch Gardens.

And I got to ride co-pilot.  Lazy lazy lazy.

While in the car, we sang a little of today's popular music, and talked about how much better America is than every other country.

 

 jk we sang spirituals. 

 Because seriously - I had to pay .30 to pee in Germany.  America is littered with rest stops that are clean, safe, and free.  Suck it, European socialism.

Also, this is a "rough" road in 99% of America. Tell me how civilized your pothole and frost-heave-riddled hellscape is.

Eventually, we made it to Busch Gardens. I didn't take any pictures due to the childlike wonder I experience every time I go to an amusement park, but here's a sandwich I ate earlier:

Sheeandwich? Sheetzwich?

A few beers at Busch Gardens, enjoying the perfect weather, grabbing a hotel, going to sleep.

Also, I can recommend this joint: Second St. Restaurant - An American Bistro

Double also, my grandfather isn't dying, or at least not appreciably more than the rest of us. Stubborn bastard is giving his 110%.  My relief that he'll actually be there to see, when I go to see him, is overwhelming.
