Adventures in Grapevine and Yankee Country

Alright. So I said I'd blog about my vacation and here it is.

So on Thursday June 19 Lauri and I drove to Grapevine. My flight left the next morning at 6 and Chris was gracious enough to let us crash at his place. Anyways, so Lauri and I get to Chris's place early enough that he was still at work. Called him and he said, "Come on over to my office!" Chris, you've got a freakin' sweet gig! That stuff you do is amazing! So after hanging at Chris's office for 10 minutes or so we got back to his place and unload our gear. Chris lives right near Grapevine Mills Mall and Lauri hadn't ever been there so we went. We got hungry. Here's where the night became AWESOME!

So, we're driving around trying to find a place to eat. I didn't really want fast food. I wanted to sit down and have a good meal and chill. So we pass this place called "Cutie Pies Roadhouse." Alright, I admit that no after the fact, the name should have given this place away, but I had no clue. Neither did Chris nor did Lauri. So we pull in. It looks nice. Walk inside and were blown away. I opened the door for Chris and Lauri and the girl standing at the hostess stand makes the girls at Hooters look like prudes. These girl were wearing basically nothing. That wouldn't be so bad except for the fact that not a SINGLE ONE was skinny. ALL or jiggly. Every freakin' one looked like they had a jello-mold for a stomach. It was crazy. PLUS our waitress was dumber than dirt! Seriously, I've had more intellectual conversations with Ms. BSW (Chris figure it out) than I did with this beast. Here's a run down of some stuff. They had to dumbest names for things. I ordered the chicken fried steak with onion rings and "crazy seasoned corn." That's a direct quote. We sent the corn back. All three of us tasted it and it tasted like cigarette smoke. Other than that, the food was decent. The whole time I felt awkward with Lauri there. But she's amazing and made the most of it.

Anyways, like I said, our waitress was an idiot! Here are a few things she did. When asking about the corn and some other things on the menu she replied with, "Yeah, they are freaking retarded names!" She gave us her entire life history in the waitressing business. She told us, and I quote, "I used to work at Fuddruckers before coming here, but the manager and I started dating. So I had to quit, but I like it more here." Like I said, none of the girls working were um... petite? Our waitress says to us, "I LOVE the fries here! They are so awesome. I love fried food. I could eat it everyday!" No kidding. If I had slapped the right side of her tummy, the left side would have jiggled like a water bed! Insane!

So that's pretty much it for the dinner.

After we ate we all went back to Chris's place to hang out. He's got a pretty sweet club area at his place and we went in there. We kicked some little kids out of this lounge room. It was funny. Some asian wanna be Michael Jordans were playing basketball. We crashed that party. Then challenged them to a game. We lost by 1 but, honestly, if we wanted to we could have destroyed them just like we did in WWII. Wow. That was over the line. Anyways, that's pretty much it from Chris's and Grapevine. More to come.
