Road trip from Texarkana to West Memphis

(please read this blog using a Texas accent, thank you)
We left Texarkana this morning and made it to Hot Springs by noon. We climbed up a giant tower and saw all around. Then we decided to have lunch. I asked garmin where the closest barbeque and it suggested Micky's BBQ 2 miles outside of town. This bothered Charles cause he doesn't like going out and then back but talked him into it. Off we went and as we drove the neighbourhood got scarier and scarier. Determined to get BBQ I egged Charles on. Finally we found Micky's. It was closed.

So I asked garmin for any restaurant in Hot Springs. So we drove back (sorry Charlie) and looked for Bubbaloo's. When we got there it was a hot dog place. A hot dog place? Really? Well that wouldn't do so we went to Granny's Place. I had chicken fried steak.

At the table next to us there was a family with a 10 year old boy and a 14 year old girl, his sister, and their parents. (seriously, you have to read this in your best southern accent) Boy gets a shaved ice for dEssert and his sister doesn't want anything. It arrives and she asks for a bite. He says no, she yes, no, yes, no, yes finally he offers her a bite. She takes a taste. As he offers it to her he says see this is what they call being nice, in his best well bless your heart voice. She gets all pissed off and takes a huge spoonful while he's trying to knock the stuff off her spoon with his.

So then we go to this cool museum place thingy. While crossing the street there were 2 sisters having a slap fight. Mom says stop that right now. One yells Well I reckon you hadn't a otta smacked me. The other yells well I reckon you hadn't a otto shoved me. The first one yells I recon you hadn't a been walking so darn slow.

Well then it was time to drive to Memphis, but first we went to Sonic for a route 44. Ya!!!

Now we're in West Memphis. Tomorrow we go to Graceland, and I have an Ihop coupon.
Best drivecation ever!
