Sunday Driving

Where to begin...after a wonderful Saturday session at conference and spending time with our parents, we opted to head home after the morning session of conference, due to the storm coming and the travel time.

Not sure if this was our punishment or were we actually blessed for making that decision and not having to deal with this while it was snowing. We were just outside of Salt Lake City headed towards the Salt flats when we noticed a little wabbling in the tires. After checking the tires, I jumped out of the driver seat, why? Because a little voice in my head said if we blow a tire, and I'm driving the car will flip. Not more the a mile down the road it blew and Logan held the car straight and took us to the side. Two wonderful good samaratians stopped to see if we were alright and then came back to change our tire. We stopped in Wendover for cardboard and duct tape to cover the back window that was taken out by the tire.

The weather was looking good things were moving along fine until we hit California. We sat in this for 1 1/2 hours and then some road construction after that. What a long day...I asked that if I think about making this drive again, please take away my car keys.

How horrible. I am glad you had a good trip prior to the tire blowout though. Fun pic of the traffic though. I promise to take away your keys anytime you ask. ;)

Way to follow the promptings. It would be scary enough to be in the car when the tire blows much less driving it. But we're glad you made it home safely and try to remind you next time.
