S: Alright, headed home H: Headed home
S: Goodbye sunshine, hello terrible winter H: [Sighs] Sad
S: Sad but it was fun. And on our last night Hannah reminded me
S: That I still had not gotten any awesome drone shots
H: Yeah S: She remembered right before sunset
S: So we ran outside, and got this
[music]
H: We're doing something different on our way home
H: You notice that my mom's not in the car with us
S: No, we left Liz Both: [laugh]
H: She didn't want to come back to Minnesota
H: She decided that she was going to live here now, forever, by herself
S: Nope H: Nope
H: Wow, look at you S: [laughs]
S: We're staying at Airbnb's on the way home
S: And we found Airbnb's that are all not being rented
S: In the days prior to our arrival, so we know that they'll have been empty
S: And therefore they'll be safe, and better than driving 24 hours in a row
H: Yes, definitely, and now we can make a little bit more of a travel vlog
S: What is this, a travel vlog? Haven't done one of them in a while
H: I know! We're filming on our Gopro, hopefully the audio is fine
H: The car's kinda loud
S: [yelling] Just make sure to speak very loudly!
H: I'm gonna have to edit that
[music]
S: Alright, we drove all day, we're now at our Airbnb in...
S: [attempts an accent] Georgia! H: [laughs] Georgia.
S: The land of the peach. And we thought it might be nice to give you
S: A little inside access apartment Airbnb-- H: It's a house
S: House tour...here's where we're staying on night 1
[music]
H: Shoutout to all the Airbnb owners that leave a bowl of treats ready for you
S: There is nothing more exciting H: Now I'm eating a Twix
H: Mom L: What
H: You have Airbnb's, correct? L: Correct
H: Do you leave treats or snacks for your guests?
L: Yes, of course H: What kinds?
L: Um, chips and granola bars H: Oooh
L: And then there's coffee, there's tea, there's spices, there's...
H: Nice
L: Fixings so you can do some first day cooking, that kind of stuff
H: Aw, so nice, you're a nice host L: Thank you
H: We got sushi and Thai food delivery
H: Yum S: Mmm
S: We love everything about the Airbnb so far, I think the absolute coolest feature
S: Is the fake fireplace that they have, often when you have a fake fireplace
S: The flame doesn't look very real, but the kind that they got
S: The flame looks like, remarkably life like
S: Like I thought it was a real fireplace, here, show them
S: [laughs]
[music]
H: We're on the road again, having breakfast
L: [laughs]
H: Back of the car
[music]
S: Big Daddy's [laughs] H: We're here
S: This is where we're staying tonight H: [laughs]
S: I got us a room at Big Daddy's Fireworks
H: Wait it's bumpy, it's bumpy, it's bumpy, I want to hold your head
H: That guy just came out with a mask on, that's good
H: I don't think we'll be going in there
H: But it's good to know that Big Daddy's is taking prevention precaution seriously
[music]
S: Well, guess what we did H: Forgot to vlog
S: We had our second night in a lovely little Airbnb, and that dinner from the Fiend store
H: Yeah, it was good, it was like barbecue
H: The first night we were in Georgia, and last night we were in Kentucky
H: And then tonight we'll be in, is it Illinois?
S: Illinois H: Illinois
H: Taking us off the road, alright S: Kentucky used to be Hannah's hometown
H: Nope [laughs] Shane loves saying that, I did almost move to Kentucky
H: My dad interviewed for a job here and we went here and stuff
S: What was the job?
H: It was a, um... I honestly don't know, I think it was probably head of security
H: At a university here, I think S: Yeah
H: Because then he quit, and was head of the security at Yale instead
H: But we did come here and we looked at like, neighborhoods
H: And there was a reason we picked the other one over this one
H: I don't know what it was because I was eight, but I almost lived in Kentucky
H: I wonder if I would've had like a horse farm or something
S: Your dream come true H: I know
S: I wonder if we would've met H: I know
H: I don't like horses, I don't like that you say that's my dream come true
S: Yeah but you want a farm H: I want a goat farm
H: And I mean horses are fine but I'm not a horse person
H: Like there's people that are really into horses, you know?
S: [laughs] H: I'm not one of them
H: But I would take a horse, like if someone was like
H: Do you want a horse? I would be like okay.
S: You would not turn down a horse H: I wouldn't turn it down
H: But that's not my dream, my dream would be to have a little goat farm
S: If you lived in Kentucky when we met, we would've been a lot closer to each other
H: Yeah, that's true S: Like just a one day drive
H: Yeah. So anyway as we drove through each town in Kentucky
H: Shane kept saying this was my hometown S: 'Do you remember these people'?
S: [laughs] Look, there's little Bobby that you used to play with
H: Nope, although you know what, that reminds me of something
H: This is a good story S: Oh boy
H: Another place that my dad interviewed for a job was--
S: Just, um, we're going left in half a mile H: Okay, was in San Francisco
S: Wait, your dad what, I wasn't listening
H: Another place my dad interviewed for a job was in San Francisco
S: Ah, okay H: And we went there
H: Like my parents and I, and we were checking out houses and stuff like that
H: And my dad was interviewing, whatever and while we were there
H: I remember we ate dinner at this restaurant, we ate outside
H: It was really nice, and I remember that there was a pear tree at this restaurant
H: I'd never seen--I was eight, I was really excited that there were pears
H: Growing off this tree, and there was a little boy my age at the table behind me
H: And I remember his dad tapped me on the shoulder
H: And said that his son would like to ask me a question
H: And the kid asked me if I wanted to play S: Awww
H: So we got up from dinner S: That's weird
H: Not it's not, it was like in a patio at a restaurant, we were all done
H: Just relaxing, there's probably music, it was nice
S: [laughs] H: Maybe he asked me what my name was
H: I remember the dad tapping me on the shoulder and saying my son has a question for you
H: And he asked me, but we got up
H: And we got up to play, we went and played under the pear tree
H: You're gonna die at this story, it was so sad
H: Okay, so we were like great friends
H: You know when you're a kid you make friends immediately
H: But we were like best friends already, I was so excited to have this new friend
S: Do you remember his name? H: No I don't, this is the story
H: And our parents exchanged addresses for us to write each other
H: To be pen pals S: Geez, this is moving along very fast
H: I know! S: I'm surprised you're not married to him today
H: I would've been if this didn't happen, so basically they exchanged addresses
H: And then when we got home I got a big letter from this kid
H: Like a bunch of photos of him doing stuff over the summer
H: A message saying 'do you wanna be pen pals?'
H: There was no return address on it, and my mom lost their address
S: Oh no H: So I was never able to write back
H: Isn't that the worst story you've ever heard?
S: That's sad H: That like haunts me to this day
H: I was so upset when I was eight because I was like, he's gonna think
H: That I just didn't want to be pen pals S: Yeah
H: And I was really really upset about it S: And he had no return address?
H: Nope, no return address, and my mom couldn't find the napkin she had written
H: Their address on, can you believe that? S: Wow
H: So upsetting, it still like haunts me to this day that this kid put together this
H: Whole package, a bunch of photos and like all this information
H: And I just never responded
S: I wonder how that person thinks about that memory
H: Probably that I was mean and didn't want to be a pen pal! So horrible!
S: [laughs] He might be here
H: So if anyone knows of anyone who was told the story the opposite direction
H: Let me know S: Wouldn't that be wild?
S: If the person heard this and was like oh my god
H: I would love that S: Let's find that person
H: Let's find them, so if you were my pen pal that I never wrote back to
S: If you played under a pear tree at a restaurant in San Francisco
S: With a little girl named Hannah Both: [laugh]
H: Can you believe that? Have I ever told you that before?
S: I think I've heard that story H: I thought so, it's pretty formative
H: It was really upsetting to me, so I'm sure I told you it already
S: Was that before or after you moved to Kentucky?
S: Alright, well, that's all we've got for you for today
H: Well, for now at least
S: Signing off H: Just driving
S: Signing off from Kentucky, hometown of Hannah Aylward
H: Oh my god
S: Goodbye H: Bye!
