Trip to Cedar City

So those of you who don't know Kelly's family lives in Cedar City and well we don't get down there very often but when we do its always a joy. So this weekend we decided to go to see the fam and get some stuff done. Well we wanted to get there earlier than we usually do so I got off work early so we could hit the road at least by 3. So we did, its a good 3.5 hour drive so making it there sooner than later makes everyone happy.
Well this is what happened:



Yep just south of the Fillmore Beaver area we got a flat tire.










So a flat tire is not big deal right? WRONG!!!! Well we had a spare tire (I know I have a few around my middle) but we didn't have a jack to take the tire off!! YEAH I know, I did have one but somehow it wasn't in my car - actually now that we think about it I don't think we have seen if for a long time. We figured when my car got stolen they took my jack because I really did have one!!
So we didn't have much choice I promptly go on the phone to see if I can find a number for a road side service. I used Cha Cha - I called Kelly's mom, I googled one. I had a phone in each hand trying to find someone to help us.

Kelly had his own way of asking for help:

If only a plane would have flown overhead right then - ohh so close!!

SO Finally I got a hold of AAA - and all I wanted was a number for a road service this was our converstation:
"Thank you for calling AAA can I have your ID number"?
"No I don't have one I'm not a member, I just need a number for a road side service number can I get one from you"
"Well if you aren't a member of AAA I can't help you"
SERIOUSLY!!!!
"Could you just give me number to someone who can?"
"Sure where are you located"
Umm I was so confused but grateful at the same time, she couldn't help me but she did? AAA is weird (no offense to anyone who has them) So I got a hold of a company in Fillmore and he said he could be there in 20-30 min and asked if that was okay, I was like umm.. sooner would be better! :) I was very nice!
Well we had to wait no matter what so we made the best of it:



Can you say you ever played frisbee on the side of the freeway? We can!



ALAS WE WERE SAVED:


I'm just glad Kelly was there with me because I would have cried if this happened to me and I was alone. It was super funny we laughed about it the rest of the way. We didn't pull up to Kelly's parents house till almost 9 - LONG DRIVE

The rest of our weekend was exciting but nothing like the trip down there.
We moved Grampa from Panguitch to Enoch Utah.

Old house to new house

Then that night we went to dinner with our friends Dustin and Nicole and their funny little girl Ana (she is a talker)

We went to this fun place in Cedar City called Ninja where they cook your food right in front of you, it was so neat. I have never had better fried rice as I did there!! YUM Ana really liked the fire!! This was Nicoles first time eating Sushi - she actually liked it. Now the question is will she eat it again?
It was a fun eventful weekend and we are glad to be home. It's funny how happy you are to be home after being away - Router sure is glad to be home, I think he is more tired then we are! Good Ole' Cedar sometimes I miss living there I wont lie.

That is so sad and funny at the same time. It's like the time my friends and I got stuck in the mud, it sucked at the time but looking back it was a lot of fun.. after the fact. And poor Router probably had to stay in the car the whole time so he didn't run into traffic.

So one question did ANYONE stop to see if you needed help?

Router didn't like all the cars going by he was scared and wouldn't walk around.

No one stopped to help us. All we did was laugh. When we got out of the car and saw we had a flat I started laughing so hard, then when we didn't have a jack I started laughing even harder!!

Ohhhh...stupid tire! At least you made the most of it! Freeway Frisbee...I think it will catch on!

Nicole said...

The only reason you miss Cedar is because we still live here and you can't see Ana and her crazy ways everyday!! lol

Wendy said...
