Ski trip cut a little short...

[txheartshot]

We spent the week in Crested Butte skiing, and after keeping an eye on the weather at home, we decided to point my truck south a day early. Just my mother in law, my daughter, and me. Everyone else flew (no fun). We made a short drive down to Santa Fe Friday afternoon, with the intent of meeting my folks in Kerrville to pick up my 2 year old son on the way. Well, after my folks had gone 2 days without power in Doss, they decided to drive to my house yesterday. Unfortunately, I-10 never cleared up, so we headed to Ft. Stockton, then Sanderson, del Rio, and made it to my house in Needville at 3:10 this morning. 19 hours with my 4 year old daughter, who was an absolute soldier. The drive was sketchy, to say the least, but wow. It was amazing to see God and Mother Nature’s power. I’ve never even imagined seeing such widespread ice and frozen trees. Looked like Elsa herself had frozen the entire world. Anyhow, it was an awesome trip, and I’m glad we made the drive. 6 hours Friday, 19 hours today. Thankful to be home safe.

Wow what a trip glad you had no trouble. 19 hours on icy roads will drain you!

With your mother in law? You must have done a no no.

That's what I was thinking, or he has the coolest mother in law on earth...

That’s the exact route I will be heading to avoid I10 when I leave Orla Tx Monday morning. Ft Stockton Del Rio SA, Austin. How were the roads through there.

My MIL is actually a lot of fun. We both enjoy driving to Colorado every year. The rest of the fam is too uppity & impatient.

Just heard from my sons. They finally made it home after a 25 hour drive from Jackson Hole. Said it was winter driving conditions the whole way.
