Hi Everyone!
Finally getting around to updating our blog! Needless to say it has been a busy three weeks. We had a wonderful roadtrip form Vancouver. The weather/roads were just awesome. We left Lethbridge, Alberta on February 14th. We have visited the following states. Montana, North Dakota, South Dakota, St. Louis Missouri, Minnesota, Omaha Nebraska, Kansas, Kentucky, Indiana, Iowa, West Virginia, Virginia, North Carolina. When we left Lethbridge I wanted to do my share of the driving as Eric had drove all the way from Vancuuver to Lethbridge. My intentions were good, but after the second day when the GPS said "turn left in 1.3 kilometers" things changed. I miscalculated 1.3 km. and turned left to soon and before I knew it I was on the other side of the freeway driving into oncoming traffic! Next thing I knew Eric was screaming at me and grabbing the wheel before I realized what I had just done. Needless to say, he never napped again after that day. Actually, he didn't like the fact that I was covering my eyes with my hands whenever I saw road kill so he preferred that I didnt drive at all!
To top it all off, after I gave the gas attendant a $100.00 bill instead of a ten, he didnt even want me to pay for any thing! Go figure! This trip was getting easier by the minute. Although, the 90.00 hurt!
