Travel Woes

Yesterday started off fairly well. I felt much better than the day before which was horrible! I got loads of work done in the 5 hours I was at the office and then Scott, Erynn, Jen and I headed out toward Kentucky for our weekend trip. I think we might have had a small curse or jinx on us. It began with me driving the Alabama stretch as that is my favorite part. All of the sudden there was wood in the road in front of me that I had to roll over because there were no other options. It appeared that a truck ahead of us was carrying some things and was using wooden pallets to keep the tarp down well it was windy enough one of the pallets blew out and a couple of cars in front of us got the brunt of that event. They had to pull over but we turned out to be fine (so far). Later Scott was driving when he noticed that a car was veering toward the median on the other side of the road. He made a noise that had us all looking and as we looked back the car flipped in the median and did finally end up on its bottom. We saw that others on that side stopped to help but it was quite stressful to watch. Finally, we are near the Kentucky line when a uhaul style truck in front of us that was pulling a boat shredded a tire on the boat trailer. We had tire fly up on us and we had to get the driver to roll down his window so we could tell him that he had lost his tire. This all happened in a 5 hour drive. What a wild ride. We had a wonderful dinner in KY at Patti's and nothing else happened during the evening so hopefully the curse is over! You might want to avoid us on the interstate!
