The recent Valentine’s Day weekend was an exhilarating experience. After a long week of bone-chilling temperatures, I decided to spend the weekend in the “Yellowhammer state” with two long time buddies, the two devilish angels: KeerZ and MamZ. Albeit only 200 miles from home, the drive wasn’t an enjoyable one as I was sabotaged by the rain and snow en route to Alabama. Moreover I was very confused as I to how I should react as and when I meet them.
Hold on!! Did I reveal that I have never met these girls before in spite of being friends for four long years? I had mixed emotions bursting through my veins when I reached their apartment complex. Once I reached their apartment, I was received by blissful KeerZ and a funny looking MamZ (she will go gaga over me). All the prickly emotions that haunted me all the way en route vanished into thin air. Almost instantly, I was feeling home!!!!
That night we went out for one crappy movie and then hit the bed. Day two, we had plans to visit the “USS Alabama” a Second World War battle ship. We reached the battle ship by 3pm on Saturday and within moments the two maddening photo fanatics were ready posing for the photographs. The pictures were clicked at every heart beat at every location. It appeared like a celebrity photoshoot than a trip to the antique war veteran. In the midst of the photoshoot, we spend some quality time walking around the deck, exploring the war equipment, the anti air-craft missile launcher, the machine guns, the gadgets and were discussing the lifestyle of the Marine Corps might have led on the ship. The Submarine located at roughly 500 ft from the ship was equally mind-boggling. The walk through the inner chambers of the submarine was awe-inspiring. We got home with some remarkable know-how and later spend a quiet Saturday evening at home. It was late afternoon by the time I woke up and KeerZ has already cooked scrumptious, mouth-watering chicken curry. No wonder why people call her an awe-inspiring cook. After a good lunch, we played poker and I was all set for a long drive back home.
Courtesy my two friends, it was indeed a memorable weekend.
