I've been in the pool for quite a long time now so I decided to head towards one of the chairs near the pool so I could eat my bag of chips. It would have been better if I had a can of soda with me. I should have asked the kid to go get me one as well earlier.
So I took my things and head towards the vending machine. I had a bit of change in my coin purse so I definitely had enough money to buy a can of soda. So I bought a can of sprite and head back to the pool.
Even though it was night hanging around by the pool really relaxed me. Guess me and the kid had different ways of relaxing ourselves.
While I opened up my bag of chips and soda, I noticed that there was another guy besides me in the pool now. He must have just arrived while I went to buy soda. He was quite short and had a bleached mohawk. I'll just mind my own business, this dude's just probably here to relax just like me.
This was my "me" time. Sitting by the pool eating a bag of chips. The other guy here might as well be invisible for all I care. This... now this was inner peace.
I stayed at the pool for an hour or so afterwards then I went back to our room to call it a night. When I arrived at the room I had to clean up after the kid. He fell asleep with a bag of potato chips on his stomach while the tv was still running.
After I cleaned up a bit, I took a quick bath. A nice warm bath so I could fall asleep faster. I hopped on my bed and began falling asleep.
The next morning the kid and I checked out the motel. We had a whole day of driving on the road ahead of us. Luckily, there was a sit in diner ten minutes away from the motel.
So we decided to have breakfast there. I ordered a bunch of pancakes for sharing as well as bacon and eggs while the kid only ordered a scrambled egg and hash brown for his breakfast.
After we had breakfast we began to head out. While I was driving I remembered that on our way out the diner I saw that short mohawk guy again. Apparently the kid had a weird interaction with him last night. Something about arguing over diet coke.
The dude didn't seem like he was following us or anything. Must have been a bunch of coincidences? I think to myself.
