The Final Post

Our Road Trip was ending and all through the car,
The ladies were weary, ‘we’ve traveled so far!’
After driving through states of both mountain and plain,
We remembered our vaca and the knowledge we’ve gained.
The bars in Nashville had free drinks galore,
And sex-iled BB had to sleep on the floor.
Ribs in Memphis went down well in our pelvis
At Graceland Jihan realized her deep love for Elvis.
We combated the tornados in the flat lands,
And walked in the canyon through 20 miles of sand.
In Colorado we hiked and ate meat by the pound,
And enjoyed the free booze at the Cowboy Lounge.
Nebraska was crappy and Iowa was the bomb,
Due to Ameer’s generosity and Burke’s awesome mom.
In Chicago we were tourists like Ferris and Cameron,
And indulged in free cocktails from a drunk fat man.
We rocked in Cleveland while we rolled through the Midwest,
We went seeking huge burgers and found the very best.
Then we were nestled all snug in our beds
At Clearfield’s Hampton Inn with 2 bottles of red.
So now our trip is over and our blog is at the end,
Thank you for reading and for being great friends!

And finally readers, what you have all been waiting for…what BB stands for.
Because Jule has grown increasingly younger looking relative to the rest of us, and because she gets carded more nowadays than she has in the past, we have decided that she is actually aging backwards like…Benjamin Button. Everyone please get in your time with Jules before she is an Alzheimer’s-ridden toddler.
