Birthday fun!
What a fun time I had!Not only did I have 10 inches of snow and lots of ice for my birthday (a first in a LONG time) but I had many laughs as well!
Since it snowed so heavily (for my part of the country) we had to drive 30 miles at approximately 10-30mph to get to the designated restaurant...Texas Roadhouse!
Dinner was fabulous! I had the 6oz sirloin . They had to recook it. I asked for medium and it was pretty much rare. Ugh. But once it was the way I had ordered it....it was simply perfection!
They did however make me get in the saddle as they announced it was my 21st birthday!? Uhm...okay. That birthday was 7 years ago, but who is counting?!
After the delicious dinner, we started our 30 mile trek home. Idiots were all over the road...anywhere from spinning in circles to sliding off the off ramps too early.
500 ft from our last exit traffic came to a standstill. So into park we go. The left lane of traffic was clear next to us. The family nominated me to get out and ask the guy in front of us (a Fed Ex trucker) if he had heard what was going on ahead of us. About a mile in front of (which we couldn't see because it was around the ramp) a semi had spun into about 3 cars in the middle of the highway.
After sitting for 30 minutes and no progress had been made, my brother-in-law needed to make a pit stop. On came my dad's WAY COOL boots and down the hill he went!
My sister and I decided to get out and play in the road. (It isn't every day you get to play in the middle of the interstate!) Her husband joined us when he returned.
The trucker in front of us got out and talked to us for about 20-30 minutes.
An HOUR AND A HALF later....we were finally able to go home!
It really was fun and a great way to waste time while stuck in traffic. L'il C, my mom, and my dad were ready to get home....prolly because they hadn't joined in the highway frolic! :)
It definitely was a memorable time! Happy Birthday to Me!
(After many months of debating whether to put pics on the internet again, I finally decided too and STUPID BLOGGER won't upload them!--Guess that is a sign!) Sorry!
