Day #2: Hitting the Road

We picked up Jeb this morning after and hour delay but it worked out well since we got partially lost inn the DFW airport parking lots.

Jeb's been going on 2 hours of sleep the entire day after finishing moving at 5AM last night. We went for lunch to the Libertine Bar for a pulled pork sandwich which the only serve on Wednesdays so we had to "settle" for other delicious eats.


That and we had the worlds best waitress, Natalie. A girl that's a born and raised Texan, without a lick of an accent b/c she's been traveling around the US for the last number of years. She served us awesome food and great Belgian and German beer. I defo didn't expect to find St. Bernardus on this trip. Anyways, thank you Natalie for getting our trip off on a high note! ;-)

Other notable things, saw a black duck, white duck and little brown duck family at a park. Inter-racial families represntin' in the fowl world. We got lost in an underground parkade at Target, Jeb's idea to park there, wtf do New Yorkers know about parking?!?! All because he wanted a pair of flip-flops which, evidently, are OUT OF SEASON!!! in Dallas, in September when its +110F. So he bought a toque instead... Don't ask, I don't get it either.


One note about Braun's ice cream shop in Dallas, DO NOT use the bathroom in there. Susan was in the fetal position in the back seat of the Crown Vic for 3 hours afterwards shaking from the shock of it. I'll leave it at that. This is what brought her back:


We then made our way to Livingston TX. Took us a while but after we passed a Chupacabra vaccination clinic, numerous road kill and met a dude that told us to follow him for some fried chicken we checked in to a Super 8.

We left Susie at the room to fend for herself and hit up Buster McNutty's for some latte night eats and $7 pitcher of Shinerbock!!!! 7 DOLLARS!!!! That's and this place was all that you can imagine about a country bar in the middle of Texas. Cowboy hats, massive belt buckles, handle bars mustaches, saloon doors, an anatomically correct brass bull and a chic wearing gold Uggs! It was incredible! I surprised they actually let dLo walk out of there, it must have been a historic day for Busters to have an Asian as a patron.




Tomorrow we're hitting the Livingston Reservoir beach and then heading to Lafayette and straight for the storm that's heading towards New Orleans. Gonna be hella fun!

Btw, I also changed the comment settings so now anyone can leave them. So if you have anything to say do so! =)
