Travel season is upon us and we are kicking it off in style. No more Airbnb’s with insect issues. We are now officially Silver Level Hilton Honors members. We now go first class or don’t go at all. Well firstish class. Because, well we came to Oklahoma.
Driving down, I knew the wife would want sushi and since it’s Lent, it worked for me as well. After dinner, being a silver Hilton Honors member I found a Hampton Inn close by and booked it. Only then did I realize a Target was next door. An ominous sign as Target makes my level headed wife lose her mind over normal household items. It’s her version of red dye #40. (I’m not allowed red things. She claims it makes me aggressive.) Anyway, everything was fine except by 9:00 p.m I was starving. So I was ready for breakfast! So here are people you see at the Oklahoma Hampton breakfast.
1. There are six 9-10 year olds in matching baseball hats. Apparently it’s already kid baseball season. And since their parents and them feel entitled to cut in line, go out of order, take all the tables, harass the hotel staff and leave their trash all over, they deserve to be called out.
2. “We have a game “ mom. This lady cuts the line. She goes the opposite way in the line. She reaches around you in line. She says the same thing. “Sorry, we have a game.” People ignore her rudeness. And allow her to continue. Until she wants bacon. I’m waiting on bacon. I have already eaten a red velvet waffle. “Sorry, we have a game.” As she tries to push ahead of me and everyone else. “Don’t worry, I’ll be fast.” As I smile pleasantly holding the bacon tongs. It’s silent in the breakfast area. Apparently she now doesn’t want bacon. I go off to enjoy my bacon. Obviously she doesn’t know the only phrase that allows you to cut or jump a food line is “I just need some ketchup.” Not ranch, not salsa not even butter. Only ketchup. She needed to be stopped.
3. Quinn, Tucker, Aiden, Duncan, Thad, and Tad. Sorry kids you think are going pro. But here is the cold hard truth. There is a kid in the D.R. hitting rocks with a broom stick his older brother hurls at him at 80 mph. An 11 yr in South Dakota that only plays summer Rec league throws more gas then you can imagine. So just lighten up and have fun.
4. Patagonia vest couple. I know you just got those from REI. Yes I know you just love them. I also know you got them on clearance. But parading around all geared up like a third grader walking to the pencil sharpener to show off his new kicks is a bit much. You’re going to be hot later.
5. Older couple next to us. Lady states that hotels increase prices due to kid sports tournaments. also felt that baseball teams are much better then cheer competition teams as “those girls are loud all the time.” Both valid statements. Her husband just sat and enjoyed 35 pieces of shaved bacon. So did I.
Final note. Had to make a target run. Wife spent $20 and I spent over $100. You know Target has some good stuff.
Headed to a hiking activity. Stay
tuned
