Still not flying...it is going to be one long month!

I talked to my parents today about their weekend trip to Austin. What an adventure it turned out to be. After packing up today from their campsite, they headed over to some natural hot springs nearby in the motorhome. They got stuck in a big mud hole. After trying unsucessfully for over four hours to get unstuck, a truck came by and pulled them out. Their was no cell phone service in the area.

Brian had called me earlier in the day because he was supposed to meet my parents at the bike shop in Austin and they weren't there when they should've been. Brian didn't know if I had talked to them to know where they were. Brian finally decided to drive out to the campground to see if they were still out there, and ended up passing them on the way. Brian said the motorhome was covered in cement like mud, and apparently dad was too. When I talked to my parents later on, my mom was laughing about the whole incident. At least they were able to look back on it and laugh. My mom said even though they had only left home the morning before, she said they felt like they'd been gone for a week. No doubt!

What I thought was going to be a boring weekend in Austin turned out to be quite an adventure. National Lampoon comes to mind...
