310 Travel ❤️ Love

Bill and I are on our way home

From a trip

to not so sunny Florida

for his Dad’s 90th birthday.

Left Thursday

and arrived late at night.

Shortly after Bill left for St. Marks to help with a relative’s brake job

emergency alerts were screaming repeatedly

Tornadoes were spotted in the Tallahassee area…

Holy crap!

Bill’s sister herded my claustrophobic self into her walk-in closet

of course we got dressed first

of course this old girl didn’t want to sit down in the nest of blankets and pillows…

but she did

and we waited until the storm passed

It’s a good thing we did!

The neighborhood had a lot of damage

Some major damage…

Bill drove right through the tornado

dodging downed trees, power lines, and flying debris

to have breakfast with his Dad and cousin before auto repairs commenced

(I don’t know if he saw any flying cows or not)…

Later on

he came back to town to help finish party shopping

we shared tornado stories,

looked for an open Whataburger (no luck)

surveyed some damage

and went back to St Marks to wish Dad H. a happy birthday

but not until the detour (read Bill’s choice of routes) around heavily tornado damaged Woodville took us down a muddy, cratered, dirt road that looked like quicksand would suck us down any second

Did I mention that lowest speed to avoid getting bogged down was around 30mph?

I married a daredevil!

Wow, what a day!

---

Then the party!

Bill’s sister planned a wonderful party with many family and friends in attendance!

After the formal party cleanup was over more family time ensued

Then back to Tallahassee we drove to the nearest Whataburger that had regained power

My daredevil husband was finally happy

---

Now today

after too little sleep

and breakfast at

guess where….

Ahhhh yes….

We are waiting to board the first leg of our two flight trip home.

Safe travels as you love on your mom!

Happy Mother’s Day to mine in heaven
