THAT IS A FAT GNOME

THERE ARE SO MUCH “STOMACH PITCHING” MOMENTS WITH ERIN THAT I HAVE TO PUT IT ON AN OUTLINE.

We were on our way to Russian river pub for wings, we saw the smallest high school building.

I was talking to the Russian river pub’s owner about our foodie road trip

The owner is good friends with Guy Fieri

Erin and I left our mark in the bathroom that “we were here”.

We graffiti-ed the bathroom “mellemel8 and poohstanggt was here 8/17/08

I screamed GNOME GNOME FAT GNOME VERY FAT GNOME!!!!!

We pulled over and took photos with the fat gnome.

The locals were looking at us weird

Erin saying is it bad we are double parking at a church parking lot.

Erin and I giggling like school girls taking photos with the fat gnome

Erin was on a mission to take photos of cows for john (jpchoi)

Erin asks, “Melanie, why are the cows running away from us? I said, “cuz they know that we will eat them.”

Erin trying to bribe the cows to come near her with chips.

I want to take a photo of me in the middle of the road and Erin is freaking out that we will get run over.

Erin says she is happy seeing the cows.
