Florida... Dream Vacation??

We've bought, packed, tanned, planned, hoped, and waited... and now it's here. We leave tomorrow. Well, we're SUPPOSED to leave tomorrow! As I write, the snow is whirling around and continues to grace us with it's presence. Fargo is under a state of emergency due to flooding, and the highways from here to Minneapolis are shut down in a number of places. We decided to fly out of Minneapolis to save some major mulah, and didn't think 8 hours of driving was that bad. Now I am totally regretting that decision. Not the saving money part, but the driving part. I have no idea how we're getting down there. I guess head East until things start clearing up, then turn South and hope we're near the airport! Thankfully Jon is taking care of the getting-there-part. I actually stopped packing today because I honestly didn't see how this vacation thing would work. But Jon called within a few minutes of that, and was full of optimism. I am so glad that he sees the positive in every situation!!!
So... pray for us if you remember. We're heading out tomorrow at 2 pm,and our flight leaves Saturday morning. Florida will be a very very welcome sight...

  1. Well, I'll be praying for you. I don't like winter storms but married someone who gets a kick out of snowdrifts in his way. Good thing, eh? Otherwise we'd never get out! I hope your vacation is warm, sunny, & that you bring some of that weather back with you!!!

  3. Who knew when you bought your tickets that the Red River would flood so bad. You'll make it but it may take you a little bit longer to get to the airport. You'll see some new country that's for sure.

    Have a great vacation. I'm envious!
