After much drama it looks like we are going to be on the road soon. We had thought our only thing to worry about was the weather, but yesterday Jason went to start the truck (our preferred mode of transportation for snowy conditions, luggage/present carrying and dog schlepping) and it made some crazy noise and wouldn't start. We called for a tow truck, but apparently (and rightfully so) a tow out of your driveway and one mile to the shop isn't a priority. The guy did come at 10pm and we were set. Except this morning the shop said..."yeah, we'll see if we can fix it". I was on the computer looking for an alternate route...flying, no tickets...train, no tickets...by car, no snow tires, no place to put the dogs...board the dogs, gobs of money...rent an SUV, none in the Seattle area. What is a girl to do? Cry...that is what she does. Then the shop says..."just a dead battery" (which is baffling because Jason put a new on in on Thursday). WHAT? I cried for nothing...
crickey!!!
Anyhoo...looks like we can be on the road and might go sooner rather than later to beat the storm. What is with all this snow? I guess maybe if I hadn't' fallen asleep during that Al Gore movie I would know the answer to that question.
Uff da...that was an awfully long way to say...we are off to Montana and we'll "see" ya in the New Year. Be prepared for the onslaught of vacation photos!!! The two pictures below are a year (give or take) apart...what a fun year it has been! Happy Holidays to all!!!
