Hawaiian Adventure- Part one of many... For this story you have a choice. I could tell you the happy watered-down version where everything was wonderful. You know the kind- all butterflies, flowers and rainbows where we all held hands and sang Kumbaya. AAKKK. What's that sound? Oh, just me gagging on my own sickly sweet mixture of b.s., or I could tell you the uncut version including the good, the bad and the very, very ugly. It's your choice. If you choose the first one, well, that was it. If you choose the second one, then please by all means continue reading.

A CHP pulled me over and claimed I was speeding. How could that be? I don't speed. I'll fight this one. Cruise control never lies. Anyway we were back on the road in no time until we hit a slight traffic jam. Finally, we got through that. We decided to stop for the night at St. George, Utah.

We left the house with all the excitement of a new adventure. As we drove north we made good time until we hit Baseline. It seems like there is always a traffic jam there for no reason. Once we got past that area an hour later it was smooth sailing, or so we thought. As we approached the California-Arizona border, my son's friend mentioned that he had never been out of the state, so we stopped on the side of the freeway, he got out and we took pictures of him hanging from the sign. Little did we know what we were getting ourselves into as we merrily drove off to the east. Soon enough it started to get dark!!!! With the dark came....the cold!
