Winter Fun!!Basically, to make a long story short... For a trip that mapquest said should take 17 hours, on the way there took about 20 hours because of the weather. So, we thought the worst was over... NO@! On the way back, we found out that I-80 was closed so we had to stay the night in the great modern day metropolis of Laramie Wyoming!!!, and the next day the roads opened just enough to allow us to travel 70 miles from Laramie to Rawlins just to find out that the roads were closed again! So we had to stay the night in Rawlins too! Now the fun part about that 70 mile trip was that it took us 5 hours!!! There was an accident and we were forced to be at a stand still for 2 hours while they cleaned it up, and the weather was so bad that we had to drive about 5 to 10 miles an hour the entire time! So, 3 days later we are home and safe!!!
On a more positive note we had a blast at the Parkers! This was our first time visiting them since they moved to Iowa 2 years ago. It was great to see their beautiful home and to spend some time together.
At the Amana Colonies What a big boy sipping from his own cup! and he didn't even mind me putting things on his head.

Oh my!- Megan!!! WHAT A TRIP!!!!! I'm glad you guys are home and everything went good on your holiday. We should get together sometime and talk:) I miss you.
oh...i wasn't sign in. :)
Oh man. I think I would have lost my mind. I tend to get really cranky when road trips go bad:) Glad you made it there and back safely and had a good time though!
yikes,.. our "13" hour trip took us 18 hours or so as well. We went up to Washington. In the end though,..we didn't have to stay over in any of the cities because of road closures so I guess we weren't that "lucky". I get cranky on road trips too regardless of whether they go wrong or not. I can only imagine my reaction. :)
