Trip to Virgina!


In preparing for our next helping someone move a long distance I relized I never posted our last moving experience. Last September we helped our friends move from here in Logan to Virgina. We borrowed my mom's horse trailer (ours is smaller) we helped them filled it to the brim, and we had to tie a few things on the sides and back of the trailer as you can see(just a few bikes and chairs ;)) and off we went. Well we made it to about Brigham city and I noticed as I was driving that there was a weird sound coming from the front wheel on my side, well I finally decided that I just needed to pull over so I saw an exit and took it quick, as we were going off on the ramp I lost my brakes on my truck so we had to depend on the trailer brakes to stop us. We pulled over and Paul started to tear it apart and the wheel barring had started falling off and the bolts were stripped, we had just gotten the ball joints replaced so we called the mechanic that fixed it and they were great they came right down and fixed it right there on the side of the road, and didn't charge us a thing. So as we were waiting for it to get fixed which took about 4 hours in all Celeste took pity on us and drove down to help entertain my kids. It was great I wasn't sure what I was going to do with them while we waited. For the trip I packed a bunch of grab bags for them to open with little treats and toys in them so they got to open up one of those while we were waiting for Celeste. We kinda started out on the wrong foot but the trip went very well other then that.
I know this happend a while ago but I totaly forgot to post about it! So over the next few days I will document our whole trip, try not to get too bored!
