So it's been a while...
This post may seem out of date but it is definitely needed.
So my summer adventures included a lot of traveling and with traveling you learn a lot of things. I will take you through eat state visited and include a little take home message with each.
Utah:
So school may get boring in the lonely state of Utah, but I must say, Springtime is beautiful. Not too hot, not too cold. Occasional rainstorms...beautiful. Also, with half the BYU crowd gone you can actually drive the streets and not worry about traffic. Oh and, sorry Utah. Just because you put an IN-N-OUT in St. George does not make you cool. It's just plain wrong.
Nevada:
First place to get a long waited IN-N-OUT burger after months at school(I'm not even counting St. George). Never does a hamburger taste so delicious. Don't plan on wearing any clothes when you step out onto the pavement in Vegas because you're just going to sweat through them all. Driving in a convertible does not block out enough heat.
California:
Glory glory! Driving to the beach in 30 mins has never been so glorious. The only problem is when you get there, good luck finding parking(free parking that is). You can drive to the many beaches located on PCH, but you'll just end up driving home and spending 4th of July in a living room. Concerts in the LA area are much cheaper than any concert in Utah. It might just be worth it to drive 8 hours for a 4 hour concert that's $20 cheaper.
Idaho:
Not only is Rexburg the smallest city to have a college, but they have the most ridiculous rules. No flip flops allowed and you can only wear pants on campus. That's right, no capris, no shorts, no rainbows...kill me. Oh not to mention, they have a curfew of 12pm and if you're late...you gotta serve some time for it. They do have some delicious small town restaurants that should be checked out if you go.
Montana:
Cops in Montana run on a "pay upfront for your punishment" system. Basically you can go 20 over and you aren't likely to get pulled over. So push down that gas pedal till your little heart can't take it anymore, but be ready to pay for your violation.
Washington:
Don't trust your GPS system because you might end up at the Canadian border and 50 miles away from your destination. Surprisingly enough, the Evergreen State is where I got my grade A tan. Don't be fooled by the rainy WA you always hear of...the sun does come out. If you move to WA, invest in a boat because chances are you'll live 20 miles away from one. It's good family bonding.
Canada:
So it's not a state, but I'll count it as one. Canadian boys are creepy. They'll follow you around on your jet ski and loiter feet away as you tear up the lake(over exaggerating). They'll also run you out of the cove if you make too many waves. Just get back at them by leaving them a dead fish on their dock...Honkers.
Georgia:
Make sure you know what gate you are suppose to connect to before you get off the plane and look like an idiot. Try and wear your flyest Roca Wear shirt and Apple Bottom jeans when you land too...you'll fit right in.
Arizona:
It's easy to get lost in the farm areas and smell like fertilizer for the rest of the day. Keep a watchful eye to the sky because AZ has amazing sunsets and neat lightening storms. Don't forget to stop by an IN-N-OUT!
New Jersey:
Tax free on clothes so spend all your time at Lord & Taylor and Nortys. When you're driving in the early mornings and night times, watch the road for deer, they will catch you off guard and give you a heart attack. Check the breaks on your bike before you go sailing down your driveway in a skirt, you just might flip off. The shore is a nice place to visit, but go on Wednesdays or Thursdays or else you'll have to pay to lay on the white sand. Bring some nose plugs to because it smells.
New York:
Don't trust your dad when he says you're going to spend the day in the Hamptons because you're going to end up at an American history site in your best dress. Just because it's the last week of a Broadway production doesn't mean you have to get tickets. Save your money and go see a family friendly show.
NOW YOU KNOW!!!
too long...possible. needed...most definite.
