Atlantic City to Columbia

Bobby and I started driving to our hometown of Columbia, MO on our way to Fresno late Saturday and got here last night. It was supposed to be a pretty quick drive... we'd start out early Saturday afternoon, stop by at one of our friends named Ivan, and continue on making it to Columbia by noon on Sunday. Didn't happen.

Instead, Bobby slept until about 5:00 pm. He must have been up playing poker all night. I got to his Super 8 room at about 1:00 and dicked around for about an hour... then figured he wasn't getting up for awhile and made my way over to the Atlantic City boardwalk.


Walked around for a bit, then stopped into Ripley's Believe It or Not. That's a pretty cool place. Plenty of shrunken heads, pictures of giants, a great big bridge made out of toothpicks, two-headed calfs, etc. At the end, there was a big screen tv with their television show and there was a little segment about freestyle walking. Pretty cool stuff. Check out their website to see some videos. They also have some pretty good flash games.


So after the museum and a pizza, I went back to the Super 8. Bobby was finally up and getting packed to go. We didn't get on the road until about 9:30. About 11:00 I fell asleep, and Rob was like "Dude... this little trip is crazy. We started in New Jersey, then hit Pennsylvania, then Maryland and Deleware, then Pennsylvania again, and in about an hour we're going to be back in New Jersey." That's when I took over the drive.
