motel 6...you can turn that light off.

So the hubs and I decided to head on down to Texas with his mom and sister today. We brought her down to spend time with her dad during her spring break because flight was stupid expensive for round trip.

We left good ole' KC after 4 and headed this way. Sophia, JW's mom, started driving but switched with JW after about a hour and a half, the JW drove for about 3 or 4 hours, then I drove when he got sleepy.

While I was driving on the Indian "whatever turn pike" we started to see this forest fire off to our right so I slowed down, naturally because I wanted to look at it, well, as soon as I slowed down I came up over this hill and had to dash over to the right lane because then all I saw was smoke and an ambulance.

After going from 80 mph to like 40 in a matter of seconds we zoomed by the scene. It was so bad. There was, what looked like, a body bag on a stretcher, hopefully it was just a person who is okay, and a large SUV turned on its side with people standing around it. It was awful. Worst wreck I've seen in real like since my own my senior year of high school. I hope and pray everyone is okay.

So we finally make it to Commerce, TX to drop Steph off at her dads. After we left Williams house we headed to Greenville to try and find a cheaper place to stay. Well, notice I said tried. We saw this huge sign that said 36.99 at the motel 6. I had stayed at a motel 6 when I was younger and didn't remember it being gross.

Lots has happened to roachtel six, since when I was a kid. We walked in, pulled back the covers and immediately went and asked for our money back. Saving money is worth a try. Right?

So we now settled in at the Best Western here in Greenville. ONE HUNDRED FOLD better than roachtel six. Really, Really nice actually. Now time to wind down from the massive cup of coffee I drank. Night all.

Motel 6...they'll leave the light on for you, but it looks better in the dark.
