The 17-Hour Drive
We totally suck.
You come here expecting your daily road report and instead find radio silence. Not cool.
To make up for it, we’re going to attempt the longest drive in the history of Wedding Road Trip. Yep. Seventeen hours of penance to pay for our inability to update every social networking site on an hourly basis.
Currently, we’re on the road somewhere between drive-thru BBQ in Austin and a fireworks hut in central Texas. By the end of this drive, we’ll be swimming and sunning in Tampa, Florida. Except that it will be two in the morning. So I guess it’s more likely that we’ll be passed out on a hotel bed instead.
During this drive, Chris and I will work hard to catch you up on the days that you’ve missed: champagne mini golf in Dallas, the almost-breakup in Irving, and the epic convo in Houston that almost sent Chris straight to the airport. We’ve got all. Even animal porn. Not really.
For now, we’re on part one of six, as we’ve split the drive into three-hour segments. Chris smartly chose segment one, knowing that I’d be totally screwed once we got to segment six, which will fall roughly between eleven in the evening and two in the morning. It’s fine by me, because I know that I’m the real rock star when we pull into the parking lot at the end of the drive.
Catch you in a few.

Yeah! Where’s the update on the DUCK and the RICKSHAW!? I hope you guys are having an awesome time! Michael and I are so jealous that we haven’t been on a cross country road trip together! I’ve been checking in daily (sometimes more) and clicking like a lunatic on your ads. Here’s another $0.10 because I’m so interested in learning more about the Free Wedding Chapel in Austin, TX.
Hugs and seatbelts,
Dee
Dying to hear the updates… call me if you guys get bored of talking to each other!
Ready, set…Florida here you come! Don’t forget ear plugs for the airboat ride.
Drive safely and nicely. That’s a long trip to make with no bickering…
How many more hours?
Are you there yet?
So good to see you guys!
Jaime, so enjoy reading everything. Hope to one of these days get your Dad to retire,in a motor home and cross great America and I want to book you as going along and doing a commentary on a daily basis. Chris can come too but he has to do the cooking.
And…assume those are Chris’ hands in the photo…good boy, both hands on the wheel and at approximately 10 and 4 on the wheel as the driving manual states. Sounds like Jaimie is driving with one hand out the window at breaking speeds waving at the patrol saying “give me another ticket!!!.”
Love ya…see you soon.
that’s hard core.
We’re 9 hours in- with 8 more to go.
hahahahaha. We actually did pretty well. 15 hours (several of road construction) and we called it quits. Wrapping up the drive this morning.
