Chapter 26. The rest of the trip to AZ.
So here's what happened on Fri/Sat/Sun of the trip.
On Friday:
Wendy and gang hung out at the family pool while I opted to read and stay cool at the adults only pool. We had lunch at the counter service restaurant they had there. I had a Ham and Cheese Panini...so good.
In the evening, our cousin came over with her son and we ordered in and just kinda hungout.
Here are some pix from that evening.....
Wendy and Ashlyn and my cousin, Corrie and her son, Raiden
Dylan and I and look who's making the face....
Erin and I making funny faces:
Dylan doing his fave pose again:
Erin was supposed to take a normal picture....and this is how it turned out
So after Corrie leaves and my parents turn in, Wendy lets us know that Derek and I can have guy time tomorrow while she and Kim take the kids to visits friends in town. Mistake, big mistake.
Saturday:
So I head down to the pool around 11:00am. Derek would join me after he gets the kids situated in the car so Kim and Wendy leave. I had a banana for breakfast.
It's already 100.
Derek joins me.
Do the Wayne and Garth flashback sounds and do the hand motions here
Fast Forward to 3am Sunday morning. I wake up and wonder where I am and what happened (anyone see the Hangover). I look around and I see my stuff laying all over the floor of the living room. My wallet was under a chair as well as my suntan lotion. The book I had taken was water damaged and somewhere separate...there was an unfinished beverage of some sort on the coffee table. I checked my Blackberry to make sure I hadn't drunk n dialed anyone....Thankfully, I didn't feel sick. So off to sleep I went again.
I woke up to Kim coming in and asking me if I was going to church with them. I said I didn't think so. Wendy called and was very short with me which means she's mad at me. I told her I wasn't going to church. I told her I would watch the kids so she could do what she wanted that afternoon.
Kim left our room and I had the rest of the day from about 10 to 2:30pm to try and remember what happened......
Okay back to Saturday...Wayne and Garth..do the honors...
Derek comes down..we kind of hang out. He suggests we get a beer. We do.
Derek gets in the pool while I try and read and he makes friends with different folks--mostly older than 60. They swap stories of being timeshare owners among other topics.
As he is talking to his new friends, I spy the pool server bringing someone a bloody mary. Derek and I always used to start vacations with a bloody mary. So I sneak to the bar and order us one each. He is happy and says, "Now this is vacation"
Okay now here's where things get dicey.
I know we met this couple from Wisconsin--Dave and Mary (I thought her name was Judy). We also met these women, Patti and her daughter, sorry don't remember her name......we ended up sitting on the stairs in the pool for HOURS just kicking it. Now during this time. We had at least one more Bloody Mary. Dave and Mary were drinking Long Islands. So we switched. I know Derek bought a round of drinks for Patti, Dave and Mary and me.
Drink total=2 bloody marys, 2 long islands, one beer.
Food Total=one banana
Heat Index=114
Also in there was a phone call to Wendy from me...I still remember what exactly I said but maybe it was something like this...lsoeogheo. and.sdodoernfuo. then we did sldodf eorereosere. ewoeor soe.
Oh and at some point, I remember having a cigarette with Dave..I don't smoke. I used to smoke occasionally when I had alot to drink and...well...so I am standing there smoking when my retired minister uncle walks by and says hi....BUSTED. Apparently, I kept saying, "i'm so busted."
Okay so see if you can follow me here. Fast forward back to Sunday. Wendy sat her children down and I don't mean Dylan and Erin. She expressed her disappointment with both of us. We all discussed mostly calmly our opinions and we were all okay after that.
On Monday as we were checking out I ran into Dave and Mary....and well....all I can say is I wish someone had a camera. They filled in the blanks from Saturday........
Apparently, I had a 45 minute conversation with Patti's daughter whose name I can't remember. apparently we were laying on one lounge chair.
Apparently, I went and talked to everyone who was hanging out at the pool.
Apparently, I had
4 Bloody Marys and
4 Long Island Ice Teas and a beer.
Apparently, I paid for more drinks.
Apparently, it was dark when we left the pool area....
Here's me and derek with Dave and Mary:
Here's me recreating my boozing ways
So there you have it I was the star of my own drunk story........
