The motel where they spend the night is dirty and it's not nice to live there. They met the Beardos, a furry, smelly family who made a lot of noise during the night running around the hotel corridor.

They also fed a bird. But the bird wanted more and flew into the car, grabbed the bag of chips and made a mess. All the other birds saw it and got into the car, then they had an accident. They also went to the swimming pool. And some kid hit someone in the butt with pool dough and blamed it on Greg. But he didn't. Greg's mother's carefully planned vacation is turning into a disaster.
