History: I was born in 1987, my mom met my father's family a few months before that, after he decided to leave her.

My mother used to tell his sister how he really was, she disagreed, didn't think he was like that (he was...), she turned out not to like my mom very much.

Fast forward to the 2000s, he screwed up so bad in life that he had no other place to go to than her house. She changed her thoughts because she found out how he really was, my mother was telling the truth.

My little cousin graduated from HS this year and decided to go to college in Alabama...

Just another excuse for me to go down there...

Now she wants to meet as much of my mom's family as humanly possible from Saturday to Tuesday. She even called my mom to ask if she could. Of course my mom held no grudges and called everyone to let them know that we were all coming down there. They were on the phone for TWO HOURS. That is the LONGEST conversation they have ever had in 25 years.

My mom's sister Brenda said that she would look after my little cousin and pick him up, take him to church on Sundays, and that they are BOTH MORE than welcome at her house (Duh) whenever.

CULTURE SHOCK!!!!

I can't WAIT to take my aunt and cousin down there to show them how WE HAVE FUN!!!!!

4 wheelers, and wheeling, and bowling, and silly jokes, and food, talking crap, and most importantly FOOD AND LOVE!!! How a real family is supposed to operate!

THIS WEEKEND IS GOING TO ROCK!!!!

BTW: We are NOT driving the Jeep, we are borrowing my uncle's Suburban because there is no way we are going to be able to fit my cousin's clothes, dorm stuff, etc plus travel clothes in my Liberty. It's just not going to happen at all.

Have fun Marlon!
Sounds like this will be a trip to remember for sure
Just sit back and watch as they meet everyone

Marlon
You do know we'll talk about you a lot since you won't be around

BUT all good of course :roll:

I'm actually kinda nervous because I have never been on a road trip with them. My father's family seems to feel like it's just them and nobody else exists.

Now here's the funny part.

My aunt said she wanted to leave Saturday at 5AM, I guess I will just nap in the truck because I'd have just been getting off of work 3 hours prior. She said "We should be there by 6PM Saturday evening."

I said 6PM?!

No!

Who told you that was a 13 hour trip?! It's an 11 hour trip, absolutely WORST case scenario. If we leave at 5AM, we will be there around 3PM central time. She said Google Maps.

WHOA. Talk about inaccurate. My mom ROFL'd when I told her. Google and Mapquest are both reporting 12-13 hours. That's hilarious because with a little moderate speeding (but not enough to get a ticket), I can make it down there in about 10 hours. The other secret is only stopping for gas, no food. Bring sandwiches and water/juice. Gotta go to the bathroom? Do it at the gas stations.

have to remember Marlon, they have never ridden with you before :ROTFL:

But I'm the same way get on the road and only brief stops for fuel thats all !
Took my Mom and Step Dad down to the beach in S.C. a few years back. Mom finally says " Do you think we could maybe stop for a little bit to use the rest room?"
Oh whoops forgot about them !! We were already in North Carolina :-)r

Family road trips are always fun! The Suburbanater will make it nice, I miss mine so very much :banghead:

I have to laugh about the bathroom thing, when we blasted down to Key West several years ago, the same rule applied.........bathroom breaks when we need gas only! Food???? here are some crackers and don't wash them down with too much water because we have about 500 miles before we need more gas :ROTFL:

The gas stations we did stop at must of thought I had a van load of hostages the way everyone ran for the bathrooms before the van even stopped at the pump :ROTFL:

Have a great time Marlon and enjoy the family time :pepper:

Anybody "need" a trail rated badge? Have a brand new one from the Toledo Assembly plant that our Jeeps were born at :pepper:

Since it say's 4x4 on it I don't think it would be appropiate for my bike :shock:

tommudd · **Posted:** Wed Jul 25, 2012 8:39 pm

I thought I had 3 , so gave one away to a needy person in Colorado
