If I never take another plane trip again, it’ll be too soon.
Today we’re stuck in Madison at Rachel and Kevin’s house, waiting out a major snow storm that’s spread from Madison to Iowa City. It’s supposed to mitigate here sometime this afternoon, but we’re not sure how things will be on the road once the predicted 30-mph winds kick up this evening.
We ended up driving from Chicago to Madison last night just as the storm was hitting, which was a whole lot of fun (our flight kept getting delayed, and when it looked like we might never get out, we just decided to rent a van and make a run for it). Kevin did a masterful job of driving first through sleet, then freezing rain, and finally snow. But we got home safe and sound. Ava was oblivious to every hitch in the trip. Plane turbulence, icy roads, whatever. All she cared about was having a piece of gum. And now she’s excited about having a “snow day.”
I’ve got just under 100 new photos of the trip to Texas. Knock yourself out. HOLLA!
