Texas Trip

Quick short story on our TX trip {More to come tomorrow}

Our first day:

We flew into Austin, which is an hour out of San Antonio, and when we got there we found out that Clark's clubs didn't make it with our flight so we had to wait another 2 hours for the next flight to come in. We decided to grab some lunch and shop at Target to get some necessities. When we returned to the airport the flight was late by 30 minutes. So we waited. Once we got his clubs we headed to the car and then to the checkout for parking. We were there for less than an hour so we owed 2 bucks. I only had 1 dollar cash on me so we had to use our card. The first lane we pull into the lady tells us that her system is down for cards and to pull into the next one. After a few minutes of cars backing up for us we pulled into the next lane. That guy said his was down and we had to go to the automatic payment lanes. At this point we all had enough of it, we tried to get him to take the 1 buck and just to let us go. Clark got really upset and used some "lovely" language. The guy wouldn't so after 5 minutes of waiting for other cars to back up we pulled into the automatic payment lane on the far right. {This is when it gets good} Clark gets out of the car and walks towards a barricade and literally chucks it. {I guess it wasn't as heavy as he thought} Meanwhile Cody is frantically trying to get his card to work, swiping it 3 times a second. Clark gets back in and tells Cody to go to the side and leave, Cody was still trying to pay and Clark said to just go. So he finally did and we barely made it through the small space. I was sitting in the back and got to watch the whole thing go down. Oh man I was laughing so hard, it was definitely a day to remember. I can still picture Cody's frantic face and Clark chucking the barricade..... All for 2 bucks

Oh good times.....
