ditch and puke

Hands down worst road trip ever.

We went to the west side for the weekend.
-Very late start
-10 mins out of Pullman I realized I forgot a bag... back tracking.  Jeff doesn't get annoyed very easily, -- he was annoyed to go get the bag.
-On our way out to Pullman again, Seth and Raya puke.  EVERYWHERE.

Seth was in the back seat and his puke projectiled far enough to hit Jeff in the driver seat.  AND we had just eaten at cougar country.  A big, burgerific meal...

It took us an hour to get to Colfax because of the puke delay ... imagine cleaning out partly digested red (seth had gatorade) hamburger meat out of the small crevices of seat belts. It was AWFUL.

-Levi had to stop to use the bathroom 3 times
-We got ran off the road on the interstate.

70 miles an hour spinning out of control... we did a 180, were face to face with on coming traffic and then landed backward in a ditch.

So many things could have gone wrong... it is amazing we didn't hit another car ... it's amazing that we landed in a soft embankment.  No one was hurt -- and the car had no damage! -- At one point there were 2 cop cars, an ambulance and a fire truck to check out the scene.  -- A tow truck did have to come and get us out -- we were stuck in mud.



Anyways, I'm done with road trips for a little bit :)

The reason for the trip: To visit my newest niece, a 30th birthday, and great-grandparents came to visit from Minnesota -- it was a triple threat!

It was a fun weekend despite the awful trip to get there, and as usual went by too soon :)
