Some of you may have heard about our terrible trek to NC this past winter but I had to document this horrible experience. We set out for NC at about noon on Friday, picked up Stephen from work and headed West. Everything was going smooth until about 7 0r 8 pm when it started snowing a little....by 9:30 we were at a dead stop- only about 3 hours from home mind you. We inched along and followed others through the maze of snow and stranded semis and cars, getting stuck and pushed out several times, until about 11:30 pm when we were completely stuck with no sight of rescue anywhere. We tried to sleep- but you can only imagine how that worked out. We debated whether we should leave our car and head to a shelter all morning, but we stuck it out- lucky we did because by 2:30pm the next afternoon Stephen came running back to the car (he had been outside most of the day trying to help other people dig out) and announced that we were getting out! Then he started shoveling around our car and with help we were finally set free- only 18 hours later!
We arrived at my parent's house around 6:30pm Saturday night.
Brooks loved playing in the car, he was so good the whole time.
Stephen, our hero, digging us to safety.
