We were too tired to post last night...but better late than never! We spent the weekend in Illinois in order to celebrate Addison's baptism.
Unfortunately, the drive there on Saturday morning was horrendous. An ice/sleet/snow storm was moving across the Midwest, and apparently the salt trucks missed the memo. We went no more than 40 mph through Indiana, and we counted 33 vehicles (including 2 semis, 1 camper and 1 police car) in the ditch/median. At one point, the SUV behind us fishtailed, slid into the left lane, overcorrected and slid off into the grassy area on the right side of the road, narrowly missed a pole, and then made it back onto the road. Very scary. On the bright side, we made it there in one piece (in a car that was very filthy).
The weekend itself was great, and we were so glad to get to see everyone. Hopefully it won't be too long before we're all together again!
Current gas price: $1.59/gallon.
