HOME!!!!

So I am finally home, but we sure had an adventure getting here. After graduation we stayed in Canton until Thursday. We repacked all my stuff and pack the trucks down. We finally left at around 2 on Thursday.

We drove with about 5 1/2 hours then we saw smoke coming from my truck that my mom was driving. So we pulled off and it died. That is when it started to pour down rain. My mom sent us to get a hotel room, while she waited for the tow truck. I think the only one who made it in to the hotel dry was Daemien. With the truck being fixed we were stuck in Marshfield, MO.

Hoping that the truck would be done by later that night we checked out of the hotel and tried to entertain ourselves. We first went to Walmart for entertainment, that lasted 2 hours. Then we went to eat lunch at Pizza Hut. The waitress told us about a park in town and even though we feared that it would be covered in mud from last nights storm, we tried anyways. It was not that muddy, so Daemien played for about an hour there. We then decided to head to the local library, which wasn't that big. We found out it closes at 5 and since it was already 4 we only had an hour there. After that we went to the salvage yard where my truck was being fixed. We waited a couple hours and almost got the truck, when they figured out the real source of the problem. So we got another hotel room, but this time it was on the second floor with no elevator. Ten trips later I put Daemien to bed.

The next morning the truck was fixed and we were on the road again. For the next two days we did nothing but drive. We finally made it home at around 10 on Sunday night. It was a very long trip, but we did have some laughs on the way. I'll post our list of funny events/comments that happened later.
