12:00pm: Car 1 (Julie and Kelli) depart with Mrs. Julie's Mom to Dallas.
2:14pm: After finishing my laundry, getting all our shit together, eating porkchops, rushing back and forth between dorms/apartments, getting gas, and buying snacks, Car 2 (Stephanie, Vivian, Phuong, and me) finally leaves Austin towards D-town.

Cars go vroom! My baby has been through a lot this month with all these road trips. She's awesome.Whee! Here we go!Good ol' 7-11 never fails us. Hurray for spending 20 dollars on chips and cookies.Car 2 rules!

2:18pm: I put in my badass Dallas Mix CD. It was a nice compilation of hip-hop ("I like this song, it has a nice beat."), Usher ("This song makes me go happy in my pants."), musical scores (so Stephanie can conduct), and so forth.
2:38pm: We start playing the license plate game. It really isn't a game as much as it is just to see how many different states license are on the road.
2:56pm: Stephanie and I start our hunt for DQs.
4:21pm: We passed by the catepillars. Which are essentially igloos for Texans.
5:32pm: We finally make it into downtown Dallas. Stephanie said I made good time.

Though the weather was shitty, we all made it safe. Can you see downtown through the rain?

6:03pm: We found our way to Julie's house in Garland. I passed out on her couch within 15 minutes after arriving there.
7:28pm: All of the girls left to go eat bulgogi ("bulgoga-who?") at a nearby Korean restaurant for an early birthday dinner. It was delicious. Thanks, you guys!


1:17am: After watching Super Troopers and taking mini-naps here and there at Julie's, Car 2 leaves to go to Phuong's place in Plano to crash.
7:08am: We wake up to the LOUDEST FAMILY IN THE HISTORY OF THE UNIVERSE. Oh. My. Fucking. God.
Things...
"What are you dooooinnng, boy?"
"Is that a MONKEY?? NO! It's a SEAL!!!"
"Is he your niece?"
I freaking HATE The Wiggles. I hope they all burn and DIE. [Just kidding. I only hate them.]
Just for the record, I am never having kids. Ever.
11:26am: Car 2 goes incognito to eat Dim Sum that was so damn far away. But it was definitely worth the drive.
12:43pm: We drive damn far yet again back to Plano and go to Stonebriar mall. Vivian and Phuong go about their happy ways, while Stephanie and I drag our sleepy asses around.

They sure do love that big blow up... duckrabbit thing....?...?Vivan is sexually harassing Stephanie!!!Don't you think that Stephanie will look so cute in that pink ruffle skirt?Skirt or shirt? You decide.Mmm... Thirsty's smoothies were super.

4:52pm: We finally leave the mall and head back to Phuong's place where we passed out for a good 2+ hours.
8:13pm: Tom Thumb's sucks. Enough said.
9:35pm: Despite being loud beyond comparison, Phuong's family cooks really amazing seafood spaghetti.
11:00pm: We leave to go back go Garland to spend the night at Julie's. These pictures should suffice:

Stephanie in a pink Von Dutch hat?? What has this world come to?Yum.What the hell?...Phuong is awesome.So... much... Stephanie... (She took these pictures when I was already asleep).



11:27am: We wake up. Ooops. We were supposed to be *at* Six Flags at 10. Oh well, Car 1 decides to sleep in as Car 2 hurries to get dressed and leaves.
12:03am: Yay! We made it to Six Flags! [Much thanks to Julie for the directions that were so accurate it was scary. We would be so lost if we didn't have them.] The rides were awesome, the funnel cakes were delicious, and the weather was perfect. All in all, it was a good day. [Pictures coming later. Maybe.]
6:57pm: Our dirty and exhausted selves made it to Phuong's brother's restaurant where we had expensive food for half the price.
9:33pm: Went back to Phuong's. Played on the computer. Passed out.


8:06am Got woken up by the Loud Family again.
This time...
"Want to drink some juice? Some juice? Drink some juice? Here's some juice. WHATHAPPENEDTOYOURSTRAW???"
"Look at the horsie! Look at the horsie!"
12:11pm: Car 2 departs for Austin. Thanks to Phuong's family for the tiny eggrolls and pineapples.
3:58pm: Hurray for being back at home! We found a total of 23 different license plates. Where are these people going?

Vivian's sad because Phuong decided to stay in Dallas for the rest of Spring Break.Ahh... Pretty day.That pointy building far away is our tower. Yay!Hurray for making it back safe!


The end.

To Julie, Stephanie, Kelli, and all you others who decided to stay in town - Hope you guys enjoy Austin. But not too much, because I'm not there.

To Vivian - Have lots of fun in Houston. Say hello to Chloe for me.

To Phuong - I now understand why you are the way you are. And I love you for that. Enjoy your time with your family in Dallas.

To Sivan - Hope you figure out something to do the rest of the time you are on Spring break. Boo to your friends who don't want to go to the beach.

To Molly - You're cool. PSYCHE!!! [Haha, just kidding, I love you, and I hope everything is going okay.]

To anyone else on Spring Break - Have lots of fun and be safe.
