- Matthew's first camping trip
- Matthew's longest road trip so far
- Matthew's first night away from home
Matthew did awesome with all three! We unfortunately experienced a lot of problems with our fifth wheel (a leaking toilet, a blown out tire on the freeway, and a hole in the roof, to name a few). We also found out before we hit the road that my credit card number had been stolen. How lovely! Fortunately, our credit card company was suspicious of the card activity and contacted us. The charges were at a local store that I shop at regularly, so I was really impressed that they were able to detect the fraudulent activity so fast.
It was kind of funny because on our way up, Ernie had stopped to change a blown out tire on a horse trailer for two ladies. We had left feeling happy we could help and also thinking that maybe that would give us good karma for the weekend. Apparently not!
After Ernie finished changing our blown out tire, we continued on the freeway in silence for a little while. I could tell that he was also exhausted and in disbelief over how much stuff had gone wrong for us. I finally broke the silence by saying, "You know, someday we are going to look back at this weekend and laugh."
Ernie said nothing.
"I mean, that day is really far off, but we are going to laugh so hard someday."
"Well, at least we're all okay," Ernie said. "That's what's important."
Definitely.
