Christmas Trip...

What a topsy turvy year this has been. Saturday Jason and I made our annual trek up to Maryland. This year however the Blizzard of 09 made goings a little harder. We tried to avoid the storm by driving through Kentucky then crossing over into West Virginia. Everything was smooth sailing until we were an hour into West Va. and the snow started falling harder, it started getting dark, and the temperature continued to drop. Jason was driving, but we were both so tense I thought we were going to crack from the pressure. After 15 hours in the car we reached Morgantown, WV and I had enough. I had my parents look up pet friendly hotels on that exit and booked us a room. The dogs were excited just to be out of the car and started running around like a couple of maniacs in the snow. We got up and left first thing Sunday morning. It was still snowing, but not as hard. The roads had cleared up slightly, but were still nerve wracking. Amazing thing, we got to Maryland and the roads were clear!

We made it to Hagerstown in time for Jason and his mom to turn around and head to Pittsburgh for the Steelers Green Bay game. Even though I would have loved to go, I was okay staying behind because it was freezing outside!!
