Wait, did we seriously just do that?

Ok people, here it is. The greatest story of my summer so far. This is one of the greatest entries i have ever posted. The story of one of the greatest days of my life, Oh yea, it's def up there. So here we go. Buckle your seat belts cuz we are going for a ride.

So Willams came to my house on Wednesday to escape the stressful week he was having. It was a little wierd because me and him have never just hung out for a long period of time alone. But it was a great time and id love to do it again. So he came here and we hung out with nick and then came the time for nick to leave. As soon as he closed the door, Willams shouted, "Let's go to Maine and surprise ashley up there."
Me: "Hahaha that would be so awesome....haha....heh...hehe.......wait do u seriously want to? Cuz i will if you want to...."
Willams: "Let's DO IT!!!"

So we trick Ashley into giving us perfect directions by saying we want to know where Willams' place is in comparison. And we go to bed at Midnight. My head just barely touches the pillow when my phone rings...it's Ashley. Well now i have to act like im sleeping in tomorrow and not waking up in less then 5 hours. So i talk to her for about 30 mins and head to bed. Ashley has no idea (although she said she knew we were coming up, and she is psychic so i beleive her.) So the buzzer goes off. We are up and ready to go at 4:45. My mom comes down stairs...

Mom: "I heard your phone go off, whats going on, why are you up so early?"
Greg: "That was my phone alarm, we are going to Maine to surprise Ash."
Mom: "WAS THAT ASHLEY CALLING AT 5am??"
Greg: "No...that was my alarm...did you hear what i just said...I'm going to Maine."
Mom: "Oh that's fine, u packing a bag and staying a couple of days?"

I love my mom, more worried that me and ash are talking at 5 am then me going to Maine to visit her..amazing.
Anyways, 5:30 rolls around and we are through Boston. No traffic, Nothing. Then we stop to get gas at 6. and we officially start the trip to Liberty, Maine. This was an amazing trip just because we couldn't believe that we were doing it. The ride was awesome because Willams and I just goofed off and listenned to his CD's. (Sidenote, great Mix cd Jena!! We listenned to the whole thing!) So we cruise up to Maine and the directions, or lack there of, are sooo easy. We arrive at "Paradise" and proceed to call Ash and tell her that her dad did a wonderful job on the porch. One quote describes her mood. "You Guys Suck!!" Well even though she was awake way to early (it was 9:30) she was excited to see us. I told her that my checks actually hurt because i was smiling the entire way up just because we were being so crazy! Well we ended up spending the entire day there and got our fair share of boating and just hanging around the Lake. But we eventually had to leave so we said our goodbyes and we were "On the Road AGAIN!" at 9pm. Well the ride home was amazing because we couldn't believe that we just did that. We got to Willam's house at 12:30, and by 12:31 i passed out in his room. He drove me home the next morning and i had to work from 2-10, and yes that was a Loooooong day. But so worth it.

I think that everyone must do this at least once every year. Not go to maine or anything specific like that, but just get up and do something spontaneous and crazy and not give a rats ass what happens. Even if Willams and I drove the 3 1/2 hours up to Liberty and couldn't find her house, at least we tried to do it, we didn't just say, oh that would be cool. Because when we get older, we can both say, yea....we did it. We just randomly drove to Maine...for a day trip. Yea we did it, it cost roughly 50-60 bucks to do it, but so what, we made Ashley's day, and no offense to ash, more importantly, we made our day! We had a blast getting there and we enjoyed every second of it, even the painful ride home, which if Willams was even half as tired as i was, it was too dangerous for him to be driving. But Willams and I will remember this day for the rest of our lives. Why, well to quote Risky Business, "Sometimes you just gotta say What The Fuck, and Just do it." Well, we said "What The Fuck" and did it, and no one can take that away. It is the most amazing feeling to look over at each other ans say...are we really doing this? But even better is driving home and saying...did we really just do that? I will remember this trip for the rest of my life, and for that, i thank Willams for being my Wingman and Co-Captain for this trip, and i thank Ashley and Co. for letting us crash there vacation and stay for the day, because we def didnt tell them we were coming and they were great about it.

Before i conclude this entry, Willams and i say some out-of-place license plates on our trip and i think we have made it our goal to see all 50 state license plates and well, whatever else we can find. So far we have:

Alabama
Arkansas

Well that pretty much wraps up my week,
