DAY ONE OF MY SPIRIT WEST COAST ADVENTURE
What do you get when you put three adult men, a baby, and a very tired mother in a Simpson Minivan? A trip to Spirit West Coast.
So far, it's been a long day, but a memorable one.
The first memory made was at a Rest Stop near Willows. As we were pulling away, I saw a curious character walking his dog, and we just had to stop and watch. The man was actually doing tai chi moves while waiting for his dog to pee. He obviously wasn't very skilled, or perhaps just not practiced because it looked more like drunked tai chi. But as soon as the dog had done it's business, he immediately stopped and headed back to his car like nothing had happened. What on earth posessed him to do something like that?
Weird.
Next we made our way down to Laguna Seca and set up our booth. When we finally got to the motel that we were staying at, Brad,one of the guys I was with, pointed out that there was a man in a Speedo getting out of the pool. We snickered a little but kept going. As we were sitting in the car waiting for Tim to check in, Brad decided to get out of the van and see what our rooms would look like. As he walked out, Speedo guy comes waltzing around the corner- no towel, just as proud as can be on display. Brad starts busting out laughing and jumps back in the car. Speedo guy has now obviously caught onto the fact that Brad is laughing at him and proceeds to continue parading around our vehicle while staring Brad down. The entire van is just vibrating with laughter and we are trying to turn away but this man is just so proud of himself. Such a funny experience.
I love road trips.
They always involve hilarious interactions.
