We slept through breakfast. But at least we got a great night sleep in our own KING sized beds! (Even though Margaret did find a pube on the comforter).

- Eating place: Marco's Pizza --> just to clue you in about Corning, CA: we felt like we were in Mexico...or at least it looked like Mexico from the movies. We were hungry and only had about 3 options: Wendy's, Subway or Marco's. We chose Marco's. At first, we thought the place was sketchy. Later, we learned that it was actually sketchy. Apparently, Marco's Pizza used to be a motel of some sort. The outside looks exactly like a motel, the inside looks like a motel without any rooms and one big open space with an oven in place of the front desk. The pizza was good though! Add that to one of our many food adventures!

- Gallons: 7.164 --> this was by far the SKETCHiest gas station so far. No joke. Like, for realsies! So we stop and fill 'er up. Then go inside to empty our bladders. Normal, right? Not here. Not in Peterson, California. I went before Margaret while she topped off the tank and didn't have too much of an issue, except when I came out of the bathroom, I saw this chick in SOCKS and talking on a hands free set. She was having some sort of conversation and something, I think it was about poop, but don't quote me on that. Then it was Margaret's turn for the potty and things just got straight up WEIRD! The socks chick was taking a dump in the bathroom and having a conversation on her hands free. So maybe she was talking about poo. But seriously, I can understand talking on the phone while pooing, but to wear just socks? Gross! After the socks chick dropped the last kid off in the pool, she came out of the stall, saw Margaret, and asked, "Was you be speeding on I-5?" Not sure how to respond, Margaret said, "No" and walked away. Good move. When we were settling back into the car, we saw the sock chick get into her car with another chick. Then they proceeded to light a huge fat one and smoke in the car. It was hard not to stare, but I was very much afraid of getting my ass kicked at this point. So we scurried off into the night!
