All That is Wrong With America - Part 1

As we've criss-crossed the country we've discovered a few things that are just plain wrong.  You know how you get the chain emails - all the conspiracies run rampant, the politics gone bad, the values and morals in the toilet...well, maybe we are too shallow but here's what we've come up with:


I just don't know what to say about this - but am I wrong? 
















This billboard was in the parking lot of this building.  It just seemed, well, wrong somehow....

Camden.  Is there anything right about Camden?  In a word: no.  How did it ever get on a field trip list?  But since we are on the subject of SC - did you know that in the mid-1800's there was a MA Senator that spoke about the evils of slavery, only to be beaten to the state of unconsciousness by the SC Senator the next day.  Wow, history is full of amazing little facts that are just...wrong!  (Not that the story is wrong - it was in the Gettysburg Museum - but gosh, that guy was just wrong!)

Maybe only Kim will get what's 'wrong' with this...
Up the road 'a piece' from Rita (as we drove to the grocery store that had never heard of hummus...uhm, that is so wrong!) we saw the "Living Water Mortuary".  I don't know, that just struck us as wrong, but we have no proof so you'll just have to take our word for it.



Need I say anything?
Although, maybe I'M wrong to be giving up blackmail
photos before there time.
And why would a picture of the Blue Ridge Parkway hit the 'all that is wrong with America' list?  Because my totally awesome little camera just couldn't cut it (I needed more, more lens, a filter to get the layers, more...) and it didn't do the BRP any justice.  So sad, so wrong...

Ah...the Wigwam Motel.  Of course we all know of this American icon, right?  We ran into at least 3 of these as we crossed from sea to shining sea (that might be strike one - it's a chain...how can that be?).  The reviews are quite scary: bugs, smells, dirt.  We were not brave (pun intended) enough to venture into one (dirt/bugs/smells=strike two).  But possibly the final blow, strike THREE, is that this is a tepee - a wigwam is an oval shaped structure.  It's just wrong!  And possibly the most wrong of all is that this particular Wigwam Motel is in Cherokee, NC...shouldn't Native Americans know these things?

  What is wrong with this blast of adrenaline?  That this isn't in our backyard - wow, was this FUN!!!



It is wrong how adorably cute Jasmine is!







I never imagined I would ever be saying there is anything wrong with a Corvette.  I mean, really?  But here's a list:
1.  A really boring museum...yawn.
2.  A really stupid driving simulator that only liscenced drivers can participate in...I got your 'simulation' right here: 10,000+ miles in 4 months!
3.  You call that factory tour?  Visit BMW and learn.
4.  No test drives, no free samples, aaahhhh.
5.  But this is surely this Vette takes the "wrong" cake! 

Join us tomorrow for more: All That is Wrong With America!
