It’s hard not to love The South.
Especially in the fall.
I had a very rushed trip, which I regret in so many ways.
I was up at 4 a.m. on Friday (after going to bed at 1:15 a.m.).
I was booked nonstop every minute I was in North Carolina.
(Above photo taken by a drunk person who prefers to stay nameless?)
For one thing, there was a very important Beer Pong Game I had to win.
I’m a beer pong secret weapon.
I’m so terrible, no one expects me to sink a ball.
But hey, I made four shots so our team could come from behind and win!
Woot!
(I held my right arm up high with my left hand so I could throw the ball with my right hand. Â Trying to throw it with my left hand/arm was clearly never going to sink a shot.)
I might have jumped up and down with joy and screamed a lot every time I made a shot.
Did I mention I had the worst hangover of my entire life the next day?
I’m pretty sure my brain might have exploded.
I also had the opportunity to taste a bite or two of North Carolina BBQ, grits, biscuits, and fried green tomatoes while I was traveling.
(Not all at one sitting – and no, I’m still not a fan of grits.)
I returned to California last night.
Yes, I really did spend over 11 of the last 72 hours on a plane.
No, I haven’t slept well (or nearly enough) in at least a week.
I’ve vowed to spend more time whenever I next pay the Carolina’s a visit.
After all, there are so many things in The South I’ve yet to experience ….
I sympathize with the jet lag, but not the hangover.
The sad thing is … I didn’t even drink that much.
I’m such a lightweight with alcohol ….
Please take a sleeping pill, get in bed and take a good long nap! Glad you had a good time!
What a wonderful idea! : )
LOL… gotta love the South.. that sign!…
And I would feel sooo washed out if I had done that flight plan.
It wiped me out. I’ve never been the jet setting type.
I needed a couple extra days back east, I think!
I flipped out when I saw that sign … I was so excited! : )
I was wondering how far south you’d gone that the leaves were changing – not too terribly far, I see.
And grits is one of the things I actually miss from “the old days.”
I think grits are an acquired taste.
The leaves were just beginning to turn.
It will be breathtaking in another week or two!
–>You were only three hours away from my house at the beach. I always get questioned when I order Unsweetened tea in North Carolina.
“Unsweetened? As in NO SUGAR?”
Yes, no sugar.
Next time you have BBQ, be sure to lay on the vinegar based BBQ sauce, a splash of hot sauce and then put your cole slaw On the sandwich. It’s YUM.
I love beer bong but not the hangover either.
deb
I would love to see the beaches in the Carolinas!
I was treated to home cooked BBQ my first night there.
It was served with cole slaw on the sandwich and it was SO good! : )
