Two days to go

Today Summer, Kelsey, and I, along with my mom and brother set out for Jacksonville. Summer and Kelsey spent the night at my house last night so that we could leave bright and early. I even remembered to decorate the car (with washable window markers) although it was not quite as good as last years decorations. Nothing exciting happened until we hit the first rest top in Indiana. Hmmmm.... How should I describe this? As we pulled in to the reststop parking lot, as happens often in parking lots, the person next to us, we shall call him Camery man, after the car which he was driving,was opening his door. A normal occurrence, most would say. But not to Camery man! At this point, situations like this go one of two ways: the pulling in car stops and Camery man gets out, or Camery man slightly shuts his door and gets out as soon as we pull into the lot. Our driver stopped the car, but instead of getting out, Camery man slams his door. As we shift the contents of the van around so we can exit, we notice Camry man talking to himself...we decided to wait for him to go inside since he seemed a little upset. Next thing ya know he's staring at Summer, who is in the passenger seat, and I could hear him through the windows..."oh! Don't you just sit there smiling like this is all your spot!" except we were firmly in our spot, so technically it was our spot, not to mention we are generally happy people on our way to the adventure of a lifetime, which makes us more smiley than usual. We waited, then went in to use the restroom. And he was waiting for us when we got out! He didn't say anything, but followed us to the car. We all loaded into the car and looked over to see him sitting in his car with the door open. Politely, our new driver, Mom, waited for him to close his door...and waited...and waited. At this point we figured he was just being rude, so she slowly went. He opened his door further and started saying some choice words. Ect,ect concluding with him chasing us down the highway to flip us off :) this might have been annoying except Camery man had lots more fun. He became annoyed with a truck that passed another semi. Both semis were exceeding the speed limit, but that bit of rational information didn't stop our friend! Oh no! Camery man wanted to make sure that the poor truckers knew that he was unhappy, so he did the only logical thing: speed up, pass the semis, roll down your window and spray your water bottle in their direction. Or maybe he just thought that his rear window was dirty and was trying to clean it... Because the he only succeeded in squirting his own car with a thick mist and wasting the water that had just paid $2 for at the rest stop. Life is never dull on the road.

P.s. If you are in southern tennessee, check out Ruby falls and let me know what it's like. We have been passing signs for it for over 90 miles!
