Just tell him you've got to pee. He has to pull over for that and while you're stopped you can get some food.
Never travel the Florida highways at Christmas time. Nothing is open except Waffle Houses. We went 2 days without food except for gas station junk food one time.
"Nothing is open except Waffle Houses. " Perfect. 5 star road trip food.

NO, Diarrhea is not a good trip companion.
ERs really cut down on travel time too. Stomach pumping takes time.
Almost to our stopping point for the night!
Are you guys sharing the driving?
Yep, my dad and I take turns. Mom and Katie sit in the back seat and make sure we don't screw up.

It is nearly impossible to resist, but no peppers on the browns = no diarrhea. I've been to a billion WH's and only one bad one (just north of Gville. It's berkeleying horrible.)
The one down the road from me is berkeleying awesome. Always clean. Always friendly. My eggs, bacon, and browns are always cooked to berkeleying perfection.
If this meet happens Thursday afternoon/evening I would also be there.

I think this means you're adopted.

Cool panorama photo!
You really do look like your mother. The shadowy-ness really made it had for me to tell if that was you or her.
In for a Thursday after work meet up. Suggest Buddy's Pizza on Michigan ave in Dearborn. Voted best in Detroit more times than I can count. Easy to find and I don't believe the parking to too bad.
This thread is so awesome. Even my wife was enjoying it right up until the Fudgery Trek stuff.
She only rolled her eyes once when I went straight to Craigslist and entered Heckflosse into the search field.

That is a cool picture.
Grapes and Funyuns? Are y'all smoking pot? 
So... We're affectionately referring to this cabin as "the murder cabin." It's dark and dirty and small and ant-infested and the toilet doesn't work and there is a VCR player. Also, I found a review on tripadvisor written by an old lady: "Cabin 4 is so romantic. We hot-tubed with some wine, then had a great time snuggling in front of the cozy fire before retiring to the comfortable bed."
So, needless to say, we are all avoiding the hot-tub, couch, and the parents' bed.
Oh, also the cabin came with dirty laundry piled against the front door. We just kicked it out of the way.
I think we're only going to spend one more night here, then keep driving north.
I suspect tin foil under that hat
Huh. Now we're at a chain called "biscuit world." Who knew there was such a thing.
On the bright side, they have real utensils.
I googled up the menu of Biscuit World. I had never heard of it.
I recommended the "Hungry Man Platter" for the whole family for its large bowl of pinto beans!
Huh. Just found out about a local mystery; it is memorialized in a framed photo in an odd biscuit chain of a tragic billboard.

Thoughts?
And to answer an earlier question, I'll be writing about the trip in Classic Motorsports. You all subscribe, right? It's a cheap way to read stories like this all year long.
We found a carnival!
We've been looking at the gorge and its surrounding touristy crap all afternoon.
We saw the mystery hole:
And the gorge:
We also rode a cable-car down to a jetboat ride!
Biscuit World rocks!
