Time for the annual spring break road trip! Hmmmm. What about the dog???
Well, Mom & Dad offered to take her, but she is not potty trained, and I just can't do that to them.
Steph also offered to take her (he opted out of this years' annual event), but she would be miserable locked in her little cage for the long days that he works. Not to mention that Rocky and Sadie don't exactly enjoy her company...
So....my solution....take her back to her birth home. She is loved and welcome there and she'll be with her sheltie Mom "Vera" and my friends Susan and Ken.
Good Plan. Yes, it is 2-3 hours west of here and out of our way, but we'll drop her off and jump on a southbound freeway and head to Florida. No Problem. Right?
Wrong! Here is how this brainstorm turned out....
Jake, Hannah, Amanda, Kendall and I left here at 4:30 on Thursday after school was out. Jake had borroweed this really neat GPS - so we typed in our destination. The GPS sent us on what IT believed was the shortest route. This crazy machine had us on more back woods dirt roads that are surely yet to be discovered ...
But we made it! Dropped off the dog and headed to the nearest interstete highway.
OOps. Did I mention that the nearest interstate was 3 hours away and it didn't go south?? We basically back - tracked and then went south. It was after midnight before we hit the freeway that we wanted...
It was a Rand McNally disaster, but we kept our spirits up....after all, we were finally on our way to Sunshine!
Apparently the GPS cannot account for traffic jams.....here we are on south interstate 65. Not exactly breezing along at 70 mph.
Cars as far as you can see and many out enjoying the sunny day... especially those of us from the great white north!
We missed lunch, but got to have the "Sonic" experience at about 2.
