Finally Here

Hey everyone! I know that not many people read this, but I decided that I need to post another blog. We are now in Cherry Point, North Carolina. We left Friday morning at around 8:30 in the morning. On the way down, we had some pretty crazy things happen to us. Friday afternoon while driving through Kentucky, my mother called to inform me that my brake light was on and beeping. She said that we needed to stop in the next town to check it out. When we got therem we saw that the fluid was very low. Bryan went into the gas station and bought fluid. When Mike and Bryan started filling it up, I noticed that there was a leak under my car. Mike checked it out and said that it was brake fluid and the connectors to the brake line were rusted. We went to three repair shops before someone could fix it. They told us it would be an hour so we decided to go to Cracker Barrell for dinner. After dinner, we went back to the shop to pick up the car. On the way through town, a cop was stopped at a red light. Our side was still green so we went on through. My grandma and Mike on the other hand did not. Bryan and I stopped in a bank parking l0t to wait on them to get through. When we finally pulled out, the same cop, pulled out in front of Mike and got behind Bryan and I. We knew something was going to happen at that point. He then flicked on his lights. We pulled over into an empty parking lot. Mike pulled in and told the police officer that they were with us. He told them to pull over to the other side and he would be there to deal with them later. The whole time that happend, the policeman had his hand on his gun like my grandmother was some kind of a serial killer. He then came to my side of the car and asked for Bryan's license and registration. He told is that the reason he pulled us over was because Bryan's plates expired last February. We knew that he was full of it but Bryan said " ok sir." The cop then told us we could go because he said that he knew that since Bryan was in the military, that they didn't have much time to get the plates changed. Just to make sure. Bryan got out of the car to make sure that his plates were not expired and as we expected, they weren't. Needless to say we will never stop in Mt. Sterling, Kentucky ever again. Everything was dandy after that until we hit West Virginia.It was dark and there were many downgrades and turns in the road. My grandpa was tired and couldn't see very well which made him almost hit the concrete barrier on both sides of the road. We then stopped in Beckley, WV to get some rest.

The next day went great. We had hardly any trouble. When we arrived here in Cherry Point, we met up with one of the guys Bryan is going to work with. After that, we got Bryan's car registered to the base and checked into TEQ. When we got to our room, we thought it was nice for the most part, but that night, we killed a roach. We haven't had one since though so we are happy for that.

I don't have much time left right now, so I finish this story later. Odios!
