Last weeks adventure (not a fun adventure)

I just thought I’d share an adventure I had last week. I was in Baltimore last Thursday and Friday. I got up at 4:30 on Thursday morning to catch a 6:20 flight to BWI. I made it to an 8:30 meeting with plenty of time and the rest of the day was great. Several people in the office gave me hugs and were happy to see me. That never happened when I was working there everyday. I stayed at Grandma and Grandpas Thursday night and went to work on Friday. Most of the North east was expecting a major storm and several airlines had cancelled flights in the morning trying to prepare for the storm to arrive that afternoon. I kept my eye on my flight and everything was on schedule to leave at 3:40. I left the office and returned the rental car and when I got to the airport the flight was delayed until 4:15. Well, 4:15 came and still no plane. They finally cancelled the flight at 4:25. I checked the monitors to actually find out the flight was cancelled and was a little irritated they didn’t make an announcement. I immediately called Grandma and Grandpa and asked them to come pick me up. Then I thought about getting a car and driving home. It’s only about 5 hours, but it was sleeting in Baltimore and rush hours were in effect. I called Grandma and told her I was driving home and not to worry about picking me up, although she was already at the airport when I called her. I then asked another man that was on the same flight if he wanted a ride. He said “yes”. I then heard two more guys talking about driving and offered to let them ride. They both wanted a ride as well, so the 4 of us got in a car and drove to Raleigh. We got to the airport at about 11:30. I stopped and got dinner because we only made one stop driving from Baltimore. By the time I got home it was 12:30. I had completely missed Lonna’s 3rd birthday, She didn’t know it was her birthday because we are celebrating this weekend, but I still knew and I didn’t want to miss any events in their life.
