Pencilvayneya Day 1

Ok here it is. I wanted to keep everything updated during the whole trip but due to the hotel's wifi that is NOT FREE and the lack of wifi I encountered everywhere else in Amish land I was not able to do so. I tried hard to document the reasonings behind this trip and some of the the things we encountered. Because there is so much to show, these posts had to be broken up day by day. I hope you enjoy and maybe learn something as well (ha.)
Moving right a-fucking-long.

Perfect way to start the trip! Marissa's mother, Debbie wanted to send us off on the road with a proper meal in our gullets before we made our nearly 2,000 mile journey. Let me just say... I don't know what those rolls are on the very top of plate....but they were amazing. AMAZING. Fucking the girl of your dreams and getting paid $500,000 to do so would be the only comparison. When I die, I would like to be buried in a bed of these things. PLEASE make sure this dying wish is carried out.

Pretty much the way I looked the entire journey. I'm sorry to say that I'm 96% sure I gave my self emphysema by the time I reached West Virginia.
"Oh hooray! We are having so much fun!!!" "Oh!....we still have 500 miles before we get to our hotel!? Fucking never mind."
Alas! We beat the shit out of Indiana, Ohio, West Virginia, and was finally able to call Pennsylvania our new victim. Lingling poses next to a sign that tells her exactly what to do. Not even in the state for 5 minutes and the damn place is already barking orders at us.
Cool man pose while being welcomed by a friendly brick wall. How's that for being a good guest.
Marissa poses with her long lost identical twin. I accidentally felt up the twin on the right by mistake....but don't tell Marissa. ;)

Just because we made it to Pennsylvania doesn't MEAN SHIT. The fine town of Lancaster where we were staying is on the OTHER fucking side of good ol' PA, minutes away from the New Jersey and Maryland border. Fuck driving OVER mountains, we'll go right through those mother fuckers. P.S. Driving through a narrow tunnel at 1 in the morning at 90 mph is probably as close to the feeling of going through a time machine as you can get.

Sweet lord! Finally we make it to our hotel room!!! This kindly witch was nice enough to welcome us to Lancaster, PA and showed us around her "amish craft" themed hotel. Horse and buggy wallpaper and amish paintings of children with no faces? YES, PLEASE!!!!

Might I also mention that NOT ONLY was the hotel decorated nothing short of amazing, but the free breakfast in the morning was nothing short of incredible!!!!
This may be kind of obscure so let me explain. Seeing as how I've been in the bmx world for over 10 years now, I've always hear a lot of buzz about Turkey Hill Iced Tea and Wawa Iced Tea. Lucky for me, the gas stations closest to the hotel offered both so I have to buy everything to give it a proper sampling. Years in the making this cheap, mediocre tea has been.

We drank tea, watched adultswim, and passed the fuck out in anticipation for the following day. What does day 2 consist of? Traveling to the city of State College, PA so I can get tattooed by the world famous Timmytatts! Timmy is a tattooer who has been on my top 10 list of tattooers for quite some time so for me to have the opportunity to finally collect a tattoo from him is mindblowing (to me anyway.)

Stay tuned for the rest of the days that shall be posted tomorrow.
(I'm tired as fuck and have to work in the morning)
