Columbus Wrap-Up now with "Quinn and Colin Video Extravaganza!"

by CajunKate

So Bydee and I got home at about 12:30 Monday morning from Columbus. As we rolled out of town, the weather matched our shared mood. Boo-hoo! We did not want to leave!

Here are the top ten things I learned on our Columbus trip:
#10. Holiday Inn Express' breakfast bar is the shiznit.
#9. It is possible to gain ten pounds in five days.
#8. Schmidt's must figure out a way to ship their creampuffs.
#7. It's not easy to go from days with an 86 degree high temperature back to Louisiana where, on the night we returned, it was 86 degrees at 9:30 PM.
#6. A three year old who can do an eyebrow waggle is the most hilarious thing I've ever seen.
#5. All copies of Scamper the Penguin should be torched immediately.
#4. A dad who buys his daughter a Garmin Nuvi, a portable GPS map system, is awesome because when his son takes the wrong exit, and his children end up on the way to Lexington, Kentucky, Garmin Nuvi will save their a**es by giving them new directions! Then his son will quit making fun of his daughter's Nuvi obsession, AND his kids will get to see the Bluegrass Parkway and a cool castle.

#3. I will forever regret not getting a picture of the billboard for a strip club that read "Big Jim's Boobie Bungalow- Exit NOW!"
#2. Dragging a laptop, cell phone, Garmin Nuvi, MP3 player, digital camera, and a video camera with you on a 1,034 mile journey is totally worth it!
AND....
#1. I want to see my nephews more often than once a year; therefore, I must devise a clever plan to spirit them away from their parents so that I may feast on their delicious cuteness EVERY DAY!

As promised, here's the "Quinn and Colin Video Extravaganza," which will totally back me up on my #1.
