There once was a man from Huntsville

Who seriously needed to be medicated!!

This little story is just way too funny not to share. Probably one of those 'you had to be there' type situations, but it's hilarious nonetheless. So we were just on our way to drive to Buffalo and we stopped in Huntsville because Julia's mom had to pick something up real quick. Well when she got out of the vehicle, she dropped her phone case on the ground and didn't notice. So a gentleman who was parked beside us came to get in his car and noticed it. He picks it up and looks in the window with a confused look on his face. I recognized what it was and opened the door to retrieve it and thank him. WELL, let me tell you, that was the beginning of quite the experience!! This man (probably late 60s, didn't get his name unfortunately) started going on about allllll sorts of stuff. He told us a few times that he used to teach psychiatry, and that he had a house in Aruba and the ladies couldn't resist him. Had us in stitches. He saw how packed the car was and so inquired about where we were heading. We just told him California. Oh, and he asked Julia's dad who we were and he said that we were his daughter and son in law. He proceeds to tell Julia how beautiful she is and how much better she could do!! I was dying laughing. So this jibber jabber goes on for a while longer, just making jokes and such. Then he gets wind that this is our honeymoon and he immediately goes to his trunk and pulls out a big bottle of V8, and jug of sunlight detergent and a baby brush / comb set and presented them to us as wedding gifts. The randomness of all of that was THE perfect beginning to this adventure.

Gotta keep that one fresh in mind for when we need a good laugh on trail!
