Some of my Favorite Quotes (Michael had a lot more, but I can't remember them now):
While at a gas station behind a truck with an anti-Bush bumper sticker, a redneck-ish man gets out and Michael says "Hmm. Seems like that guy would like Bush". We ask why? "Well it looks like he likes guns". Then the "woman" next to him gets out. Jason says "Yeah, but it looks like she likes girls".

"Every nerve in my mouth is alive!" -Jason, while eating a super spicy beef jerky

"Guys, I'm really sorry...." -Crys "Crys, how sorry are you? Because my feet really hurt and they sure could use a footrub..." -Michael in response.

Some might say that we're crazy for driving all the way to New York. Michael would probably agree ;). But I say that life is all about the journey, not the destination. So often people fly to where they are going, and mentally, their vacation doesn't start until they arrive, and it ends once they step on the airplane to go home. But my vacation includes the journey as well! How often do you get to say that you've been in 6 states in one day? How often do you get to relax and just enjoy the countryside? How often do you even notice the countryside? How often do you get 10 hours of uninterrupted time to spend with some of your best friends and get to know them better? How often do you get to hear them sing at the top of their lungs to Queen and the Hamster Dance or see them lean out the window to yell at a cow just minding his own business? Not very often I bet!!
