Farewell everybody!

First off, sorry we didn't update the blog hourly on our second day of road tripping home, to be honest, nothing very interesting happened. Courtney told us the tale of Pillow Troll and his faithful friend (and sometimes love) Wormsley Dog. We had a musical sing-a-long where Robert screeched along to Defying Gravity. We played some games...fairly typical road trip stuff.

We are all now home, and recuperating from our nine days together! We have one more day off to recover before we return to the second half of the semester on Monday. Thanks to everybody who took the time to read this blog and let us know how much you were enjoying it. We all thought we were crazy when we started it, and that nobody would read it, but apparently we couldn't have been more wrong. We had almost 3000 page views and readers in ten different countries, so apparently you guys enjoyed hearing about our crazy antics. Seriously though, which one of you is reading this from Pakistan?

Anyway, we're signing off for good, as #CampDisney has officially come to an end. You may now all return to your regular lives, and not obsessively read about every moment the four of us spent together. Who knows, maybe we'll have another trip next year, and if we do, we'll definitely obsessively blog every moment of it.

Thanks for everything!

  - Zach, Robert, Colleen, and Courtney


Hour Fourteen and Fifteen: Oops!

We all fell asleep minus the driver so we missed the last blog post! Sorry loyal readers. Since we have been sleeping there are no fun updates :( Yawnnnn

Robert: Ahhh! (In a whisper)
Colleen: Zzzzzzz
Zach:Zzzzzz
Courtney: Yawn. I'm not even sure what state we are in.

Hour Thirteen: Dairy Queen!

We didn't eat any Dairy Queen, but we did make a quick pit stop there and switch off drivers! Also in this hour, we hit some bridge constriction and sat in traffic for about ten minutes, and found a good radio station to listen to! Life is good, otherwise.

Time for everybody's favorite activity! Check!

Robert: MERGE!
Courtney: This has been an enjoyable frolic through Virginia!
Colleen: I'm awake now!

See you next hour!

Hour Twelve: The Open Road

We are still driving safe and sound. Nothing exciting has happened. We are in Virginia now, so that is cool. Okay time for checks!

Zach: I'm proud of myself for not falling for it his time. I believe today will be a nice leisurely drive.
Robert: My book made me sleepy.
Colleen: zzzzz still sleeping
Courtney: Texting my brother makes me miss him! Hey Ry guy (if you are reading this)!


Kickoff to Day 2 of driving!

We are on the road again! Zach is driving the first half. Dunkin Donuts was our breakfast of choice again an boy was it yummy. It is currently drizzling outside but when has a little rain ever dampened an Ithacan's spirit?! We will continue our hourly updates until we reach our final destination: Ithaca College.

Checks:

Colleen: zzzzzzz already sleeping
Robert: Yay Ithaca! (Said with very little enthusiasm)
Zach: Dunkin Donuts makes me happy.
Courtney: Wooo more driving!

Hour Ten: We got gas.

Yes, we filled up the tank. It was at a gas station in the middle of no where, there was actually nothing else around. There were bars on the windows. It had a sign that said no baggy pants and there was a dog wandering. Nothing as eventful as his has happened in the past hour.

Check:

Colleen:" EeeeeeEeeee" singing along to Taylor Swifts Trouble
Robert: 46 miles to South of the Border
Zach: Are we there yet? Are we there yet? Are we there yet?
Courtney: The combination of sweet and salty snacks is the definition of perfection.

Hour Eleven: Story time!

It's been very quite in the car up until five minutes ago. Because Zach is needy, he asked me to tell him a story. Even though I spent a semester telling stories, I didn't have enough energy to make one up on the spot. Colleen then decided to tell a story about a boy named Robert who never paid attention. Courtney then told a story of a troll named Hohn— the Hohn Troll.

Naturally, I was offended by these awful stories and pouted about how awful my friends were being to me! Courtney then changed the troll's name to Pillow Troll and Colleen told a story of an amazing boy named Robert Hohn who was loved by everyone!

Nothing else happened during the last hour, but I did start playing Hunter Hayes for everyone's listening pleasure.

CHECK!

Zach: Yeah?... Just as a side note, I always said "Robert" before doing a check earlier, not "Hey, Robert."
Courtney: HARHARHARHAR
Colleen: Are we there yet??
Robert: ONE MORE HOUR!

Also, I apologize for this awful post. We're all past the point of exhaustion.

I'll be sure to let y'all know when we arrive to our hotel!
