I didn't rise to the top of the food chain for nothing....

Hello friends!

East Coast misses everyone so much. I know everyone has incredible stories from the drive across our beautiful, sometimes extremely boring, nation. In the first 36 hrs of New England and East Coast's big conquering of the great states of America, we saw Deep South break down in Yuma, had some one with missing teeth and a cute-ugly dog ask us what 'Invisible Chicken' was, and a weight station gaurd call us 'effing kids who probably don't even know where Uganda (with an "and" sound) is. Texas never ended. And Ivory felt like he was born again when we crossed into Louisiana at 4am on Saturday.

At one point we stopped in Midland, Texas at a grocery store. Brit was being her healthy self and buying veggies. In this particular store, and I'm pretty sure only in Texas, there were quotes above each food section of the store, pertaining to the food items being sold there. In Big Texas fashion, above the meat isle it read, "I didn't fight my way to the top of the food chain to be a vegetarian." -unkown. I think they proceeded to offend every vegetarian in the southwest region, including Tyler.

However, perhaps this was just foreshadowing of what was to come. We stopped in Birmingham at my parents house and my mom had made dinner. She made cuban food, all of which was vegetarian except for the pork. But get this, apparently the smell was so good, that Tyler AND Brit both ate pork. what?

All I have to say, is we turned the veggies into food chain fighter champions.
