To start off day 1 of our epic journey, we began by sleeping in. According to an Irish Proverb, "A good laugh and a long sleep are the best cures in a doctor's book." Sounds like a good quote to live by! So of course, we laughed=) By the end of the summer we'll definitley be rocking a nice 6 pack just from laughing (we wish)=p We got a few good laughs from watching Glozell on youtube... you should check her out:

... and we just have one question... "how drunk is you?"
After wasting time watching a few more ridiculous youtube videos, we ate lemonade girl scout cookies, although they arent as good as peanut butter patties. Girl scout cookies are just another one of the few simple pleasures in life to enjoy. Think about how hard it is to say no to a little 6 year-old girl standing at your doorstep asking you to buy cookies. Are you wondering if the chocolate in the girl scout cookies comes from a free trade zone or if it is from cocao beans picked by slave children? Well the use of slavery is condemned by the chocolate makers, so little slave children are not making the chocolate for Girl Scout cookies...rest assured.
Following our delicious snack of classic Girl Scout cookies, little doggy Maggie licked our hands. Who knew that having a dog lick your hand is considered a simple pleasure?
Eventually we were thirsty and when we looked at the fridge, we got good advice: Dont drink water bottles unless traveling! Why? You want to help the environment don't you? Also, we learned that you have to enjoy the day, enjoy the moment. We are excited with what we accomplished and cant wait to continue the fun tomorrow...
