The Catalyst That Started it All
We watched RV again tonight. The movie that started all this...
It was a dark and stormy night, and we had to look after a brand new puppy called Buttons. Around February, 3 years ago.
Actually, I think it was quite a nice night, not a storm cloud in sight. But that doesn't sound as good.
We were at my house at the time, looking after my sister’s 9-week-old puppy as everyone else was out, as they didn’t want to leave her alone. We got some takeaway (Fasta Pasta) and borrowed out RV. Buttons ended up sleeping in my underwear drawer, which I got in trouble for, as she then didn’t sleep much that night. So we watched RV, and the conversation went something like this...(may not be historically accurate)
Kate: 'Hey Kade...'
Kade: 'Yes my darling and sweet girlfriend?'
Kate: 'Wouldn’t it be fun if we could do that one day?'
Kade: 'Do what the love of my life?'
(Meanwhile in the background, it is the dumping of the sewerage scene that goes horribly awry)
Kate: 'Travel around America in a RV'
Kade: 'Sure would be fun, anything with you and me together would be the best time of my life'
hytgfvbzyhntuyft give me the laptop, Kade here, this is how the night really went...
It was a clear day near the end of February, as Kate has said we went over her parents place to mind their new puppy, so we took the RV Runaway vacation DVD as it was next on our pile of "to watch" movies.
I think the conversation Kate may be referring to went a little something like this...
Kate: "How cool would it be to travel around America in a RV?"
Kade: "I'd say about 10 cools" I replied.
Thus the idea was born. When we'd finished watching the movie and Buttons had curled up to sleep, Kate and I both started talking about how cool it would be to RV around America and all the places we would like to see and visit. We spoke about the normal tourist stuff that comes to mind when you think America like Disneyland, Universal Studios, Knottsberry Farm and the Rock'n'Roll hall of fame (and of course Roswell and Salem - from Kate). Then of all the natural wonders like the Grand Canyon and Niagara Falls, and then of course all the other cool things that America has to offer like the sights and sounds and differences between all of the states and what each one has to offer (and the CANDY and POP TARTS!!! not to mention the rest of the food...mmm...food - from Kate again). From that one night of puppy sitting, a dream was born, and revisited constantly and updated with new ideas and things Kate and I had seen in our daily travels. Who knew that that little dream would become a reality?
Ok. Me again.
We have a lot to thank the movie for, without it who knows where we would be going for our honeymoon. Imagine if we watched Harry Potter instead, we would be going to see Hogwarts...wait a second....we are :) (For those of you who don’t know, Universal Studios in Orlando are opening Harry Potter Land in April, which we will be visiting).
On another note, we have finished paying our wedding rings off today :) One less thing to think about...
Night all...sleep well
