Day 1....hitting the road

Today is the day, we are off on our adventure! We got on the road around 7 tonight, we wanted to be the road about 6 but there was a little detour we had to make.  You see when Brian was getting on the freeway, the wagon became loose on the back of the Jeep and we lost it! Right there on Highway 50 in 5 o'clock traffic.  Luckily no cars were hit, but the wagon was no more.  So we headed to Liz and Rudy's totally bummed out, but we needed to pick up Abby and get on the road.  So we hit the road about 7 and Abby quickly fell asleep so that was nice.  After talking about it and feeling a little sick to our stomachs we started to call all the Target's and Walmart's on I 5 to see if we could locate our little wagon.  Well we finally got a hold of a Walmart in Red Bluff and they had the one, so around 9 o'clock this evening we pulled into Walmart and purchased another red wagon, with Abby being none the wiser.  Little side note, that peopleofwalmart.com doesn't lie, there are some interesting folks at Walmart.  Anyway we were back on the road around 9:30, Abby woke up while we were stopped and wasn't too happy to get back in the car seat.  She did fall back asleep around 10:30 and slept til we arrived in Ashland-Medford.  We got into the hotel around 1 and I think we maybe got 4 hours sleep.  Until tomorrow!!!
