Road Trip and Steemit Meet-Up!

So this past weekend, my girlfriend @ladymaharet came down to visit with me, and we took a trip down to Del Ray, Florida to meet up with a whole host of other Steemians!

She flew in at around 12pm my time on Friday into Atlanta. Due to some kerfuffle with the rental car company and her credit card, I ended up having to drive down there from Montgomery, with Kate in tow, to pick her up. We were both running on practically no sleep, but we powered through the ride back home, hit up Walmart for some dinner, and called it a night.

Good thing, too, because we went down to Del Ray, FL the next day for a meet up with a whole bunch of people! Most everyone had ended up getting down there on Friday, which was just impossible for us to handle given we hadn't had any sleep for more than 24 hours prior. Still, we managed to make it up on Saturday and we got there around 8:30 for the festivities!

It took us a little longer to get down there than we expected, but we eventually got down to Del Ray after a grueling 10-hour drive. We met up with @aggroed, @isaria, @swelker101, @lenadr, @choogirl, @crimsonclad, @negativer, @morodiene, @scaredycatguide, and @kubbyelizabeth.

After we all met up outside of the Mellow Mushroom, we made our way down the street to a bar in an old funeral parlor called Death or Glory. @crimsonclad had gone on ahead and we all sat down for drinks. Since me and Chelsea hadn't eaten for most of the day, we ordered burgers from the bar, and hot damn they were good. Then we got a few drinks (expensive drinks), followed by a couple more after that. It was a good time; really was worth the 10 hour drive down!

We spent the night down there in Del Ray and we got going the next morning after a full night's sleep. The trip back took for-damn-ever, but it was with the best company imaginable. We made our way by a different road on the way back. We stopped by this incredible place called Soupa Saiyan. It's a pho place, which marked the first time I've ever had pho. Talk about delicious. Soupa Saiyan is DBZ-themed, so naturally, we ordered the Kaioken bowl. Big damn bowl that even the two of us, starved from driving all day, couldn't finish off!

_{We had to wait in this line for almost an hour to get into the restaurant.}

_{Seriously, that bowl was huge!}

All in all, it was a great meet up and one hell of a great trip! If anyone of you are ever in the Orlando area, check out Soupa Saiyan!
