In the morning, my dad came
to see me off. He brought the video camera and was getting a lot of footage of
the morning routine. One person asked me if he was a film director or
something. Either way, it was cool to have a family member there before the
ride.
I rode with Collin and Jack.
As always, Jack was full of stories to tell to make the ride go quickly. Collin
had chugged a bottle of Mrs. Butterworth’s syrup before breakfast in order to
complete a challenge, so it took him a while to feel up to par. We took our
time riding though and it really wasn’t anything difficult. We made good timing
to our lodging, which again was a hotel. We’ve been lucking out with those
lately. However, this time there was a twist. There were only two people to a
room and we each got our own beds. Score! I got settled into my room and
sprawled out on the bed to pass out for 2 hours before lunch.
For lunch, a Pi Alpha sponsored
a pizza buffet at Happy Joe’s. Second buffet-style meal. Needless to say no one
hesitated to make the Happy Joe’s staff see how fast they can cook pizzas.
Afterwards we went back to the room and slept some more before our next event.
When we woke up and gathered in the lobby, we began to notice more and more
pretty cute girls walk into the hotel. Matt joked “Hah. Watch they’re having a
Hooters convention here or something.” Well we came to find out that Matt was
exactly right. Suddenly, everyone became like little boys on Christmas morning.
When our PM finally dragged us to the vans we headed out to a water park for
some fun with a local organization for people with disabilities. The whole
night was a lot of fun and we made some great friends.
