Day 4 - Spartanburg to Mike's House

8:00 AM - We actually all did wake up at 7 AM. After packing up the tent and brushing teeth, applying deodorant, etc., we went up to the park check-in and paid for our one night stay. Now we're on I-85 North.

10:30 AM - Ok, we got to Charlotte around 9:30 and decided to stop at Walmart for ice, batteries, and a small fan for camping. Had no problem finding all of that. Then we went over to Best Buy to find a 400 Watt converter since my Dad and Mrs. Andreen informed us that the PS3 uses 400 Watts. So we went into the store to get a converter that would actually work. Hahahahahahaha. Want to take a wild guess what happened after remembering our stop at the Beaumont Best Buy? Yep, we brought it out to the car, opened it (neatly this time so we could put the box back together in one-ish piece), and plugged the PS3 into it. BZZZZEWWW. Whatever the opposite of good luck is, we're having that with the power converters. Next time we stop by a Best Buy, we're gonna try a 750 Watt converter. Oh well, at least Guitar Hero 3 will never get old...oh wait, it did yesterday.

12:48 PM - Blogging from Greensboro, NC, the heart of civilization. We're probably 4 or 5 hours from DC and the Clifton, VA area. Yay.

7:00 PM - We're at Mike's house! His mom made us some pizza so we had a good dinner. We're probably gonna head out to throw the frisbee around a little bit and then I'm sure we'll be busting out the PS3.

11:00 PM - Alright well we got our frisbee on for a while until we got nice and sweaty and then we came back to the house and I smoked Gray and Jason at pool while Kyle set up the PS3 and then proceeded to beat Mike 28-14 at NCAA Football 09. After that, Gray and I played out our rivalry, Fightin Texas Aggies vs Texas Fat Cows. Seeing as how I had never used a Playstation controller before and how Stephen McGee apparantly can't throw the ball within 10 feet of his target on the game, Gray jumped out to a 28-0 lead by halftime. Then he pulled a cheap but clever one on me, kicking and recovering and onside kick to start the second half, partially due to my inability to figure out how to switch alignments. I started scoring points late, including a 83 yard kickoff return for a TD, but ended up losing 49-24. Nonetheless, it was still fun. Now we're gonna go to bed since we should probably be leaving around 8 AM.
