We rang in the new year while traveling back to NC from Oklahoma. We had a lot of fun with family and friends all while dodging wonderful weather phenomenon. The newest phenomenon that we had to deal with was the tornadoes on the way down. While in Nashville we couldn't see and had our radio hoping for that annoying beep saying there was an alert of some kind. We couldn't hear each other for all the rain coming down on the car so we found a long overpass to park under for a few minutes to get our bearings. As we slowed down we realized part of what we were hearing was tornado sirens. Yes! Now we get to add driving through tornadoes to our list of Christmas weather adventures we've now had. The first year Chris and I got married we drove through tornadoes getting home to Arkansas from Oklahoma at Thanksgiving -- but never Christmas before. That was a scary experience and we didn't have two kids screaming for food in the backseat then. :)
Anyway we made it safely to all of our destinations even if we didn't stay as long as we might have liked to stay. We got to see most all of the family and friends we set out to see and now it is good to be home.
Google helped me by putting together a story about the trip. There aren't many captions but it tells the story quite well and has several pictures that are fun!
