There We Go. Here We Are!

June 10, 2012

Well, we left for our trip at 2:30 this afternoon and guess what?  We’re already back home again!

We are super speedy vacationers.

Either that or we had a breakdown.  Um.  Yup.  That would be it.   Our brake caliper froze up an hour down the road.

So we turned around and limped on home and now Steve and a mechanic from church are in the process of making the repairs.  They estimate we should be back on the road at 7 pm.  I tried to call the hotel in Washington to cancel for tonight since we were planning to stop enroute at a hotel due to the delay.  But when we were told  that we would be charged the money whether we made it in or not . . . well, we may just be sleeping in D.C. tonight after all.  Just won’t get there till 1 or 2 am.

Are we having fun yet?

    Gads! I thought I was the only one that had ill fated vacations! Sarah is so lucky to have a full time professional world renowned nurse…Mr. Snowy, R.N. (Renowned Nurse!!) Hope it all works out for all the Smith’s and family. (loved the pic of Snowy looking sad with sick Sarah!) Jojy

      Jojy, nope, you’re not the only one!  We’ve joined you in that wonderful, elite club!   And yes, Renowned Nurse is a great title for Snowy, especially with all his Internet fame.  🙂

    Oh my word! Oh well, maybe all is uphill from here on out. Hubs says chewing crushed ice keeps him awake. Tell Steve to try it!
