Longest Day EVER!

Well we made it home. Our day started at 3:30 am when Elise decided to wake up and stay awake until 5. We went back to sleep and I got up with her when she woke up at 8 because I could sleep in the car and Ryan needed to drive. The snow was so bad though that I was scared to let Ryan sleep past nine thirty. We got on the road at 10:30. I've never seen so much WHITE! Once we got past Scipio there were tons of cars spun out and stuck on the side of the road it was crazy! Then we dead stopped right after Cedar City because a oil tanker jack knifed and rolled up. AHH! But then we made it to St. George, an hour longer than it usually takes. We were sure that Sunday traffic would be over since it took us so long to get down to St. George. We were SO wrong.  The traffic was bad all the way from Primm to Barstow. Sigh. Elise did much better than I thought she would. After 13 and half hours we finally arrived home and had to face a broken heater. I think these pictures of Elise this morning say it all.

Sounds pretty hairy to me. I am such a wussy in snowy/icy conditions.
