Outback in the Out Back

Last night Jon and I went to his parents’ house for dinner and some ripping out of carpet in their guest room. I didn’t rip out carpet, the boys did, just in case you were confused about my level of prissiness. Anyway, they live about a half hour or so from us and to get there we drive the back roads and cross the state line 4 times due to the little part of their state that juts down into ours. On the way home, it was about 11 pm, we are driving down this dark 2 lane country road and come upon a field. In which sat, fully inflated and lit up like Times Square, the Outback Steakhouse Blimp. Miles from any large city or event I might add. I’ve never seen a blimp so close before, or even on a back road in rural North Carolina. Even though it was raining you know we had to stop to get a picture.
