Good Morning and happy weekend...well for most of you. I am writing this blog for all of you to read from the Super 8 Motel in Missouri Valley, IA! Why are we in Missouri Valley at the Super 8, you ask? Well b/c my little Jeep Liberty (only a 2002) decided that it wanted to blow it's water pump and strand us at the Mondamin exit on I-29 for 2 hours! It took us about an hour to find a towing service to come and get us and bring us back to Mo. Valley.
We were headed back up to Akron, to do a few things and visit the family. We were originally going to leave from home this morning to head up north, but Chuck said he didn't mind if we left last night, just as long as I drove part of the trip. Well....I made it to Mondamin....we only had somewhere around 75 miles to go.
So anyways, the jeep is now being worked on at the dealership just a block away from the motel. They say it should be done around 11:30 this morning. So hopefully we'll be on our way north here in just a few short hours.
I'm just glad that it wasn't anything else, but man....they sure do charge a heck of a lot to fix vehicles these days!
Hope everyone else's beginning of the weekend started out better than ours. I'm determined to make this a GREAT trip now.
I better go now, Chuck went over to get us some Burger King for breakfast! YUM, biscuits and gravy, probably the only good about the jeep breaking down.
Have a great weekend everyone! Hopefully we'll have some better news by next week!
