<p><b>New page</b></p><div>=== Day 1 ===<br />
<br />
6:00 am<br />
There's something about the desert. It's so full of surprises. Like when it rains. There are these little blue flowers that bloom for just one day.<br />
<br />
Mom, Dad and I wanted to see some of those flowers. So we bought this art bus, got gas cards, and set off for the open road. Grand Canyon or bust.<br />
<br />
I'm lying across the back seat watching the clouds and tree tops fly by. A bug just got squashed on the window.<br />
<br />
1:00 pm<br />
I can't stand Dad sometimes. He forgot his cellphone, so we're on the way back home.<br />
<br />
Late...<br />
It's so quiet right now. Everyone is sleeping soundly. Wait, no way. Dad is sucking his thumb in his sleep. I have to go find the camera... Tee hee.<br />
<br />
=== Day Two ===<br />
Early...<br />
Hardly slept last night. I kept trying to imagine what the Grand Canyon's going to be like. I heard you can take a ride all the way to the bottom. Maybe I can convince these cheapskates to do it with me.<br />
<br />
2:00 pm<br />
I've wanted to stop for the past half hour, but Mom and Dad hit some giggle wall--they were up front telling knock knock jokes, farting and eating like I'm not even here.<br />
<br />
3:30 pm<br />
Cool, Mom just saw some sign for a mechanical fortune teller. She nearly had an accident veering off the road to go check it out. But I'll ignore that...<br />
<br />
10:00 pm<br />
We're staying at this 3 star hotel right near a road full of traffic. Charming.<br />
<br />
=== Day 3 ===<br />
8:00 am<br />
Dad and Mom are playing slug bug. Again. They're so outback.<br />
<br />
2:00 pm<br />
Started to drizzle. Now Dad and Mom are singing crappy music tunes to the beat of the windshield wipers.<br />
<br />
4:00 pm<br />
Mom got her period, so we had to stop at this restaurant. She was asking around to see if anyone had a tampon, when this lady offered her 3 of them. The kindness of strangers...<br />
<br />
=== Last Day ===<br />
8:00 am<br />
The sun's barely risen and Mom woken me up quietly.<br />
<br />
3:00 pm<br />
Finally stopped raining so we can take our ride into the canyon.<br />
<br />
6:00 pm<br />
The Grand Canyon is amazing. I saw those little blue flowers. I was so excited I got off, bent down and smelled...dirty socks.<br />
<br />
Dad must have seen the look on my face, because he smiled at me and said--now that's some road trip, when you get a chance to stop and smell the flowers that smell like dirty socks.</div>Lemon Demon43
