Description
As Greg Heffley’s summer vacation starts, his mother announces that the family will be going on a surprise road trip. As they pack their suitcases for the trip, Greg’s father brings his old boat, towing it behind the van as so to fit luggage.
After a day of driving, including some road trip games and a Spanish lesson, the Heffleys stop at a run-down motel. Greg and his brother Rodrick visit the hot tub, which is already in use by another family. Later on, Greg’s sleep is disturbed by a group of kids riding on a cleaning cart, whom he recognizes from the hot tub. He yells at them, is intimidated by their father, and then quickly returns to his room. The next day, the Heffleys visit a county fair. While driving, Greg notices the family from the motel in a purple van and nicknames them “the Beardos” after their father’s notable beard. At the fair, Greg’s little brother, Manny, wins a live baby pig in a contest. The pig stays in the back of the van with Greg.
At a hotel the next night, the pig eats and drinks food from the minibar in Greg and Rodrick’s room, costing them money. Greg’s father has to take a business call during the drive and needs everyone to be silent. After a chain of disastrous events, including the pig biting Greg’s finger, Greg’s parents willingly donate it to a petting zoo, which upsets Manny. After Greg is taken to a veterinarian for treatment for the pig bite, the family stops at another hotel much more decent than the first.
