The Misadventures of Vermont

How to plan an epic weekend:
  1. Get caught in snowstorm while driving a car with zero winter traction tires, and spend 4+ hours only to make it halfway to a destination normally four hours from starting point.
  2. Pullover and get a hotel room thanks to parental hotel points.
  3. Sleep on and off for 3 hours as three people in a full size uncomfortable pullout sofa bed.
  4. Wake up at 5am while still dark and get back on road.
  5. Go through two states and hit more winter driving conditions in final state.
  6. Have moment of panic as you spend 10 minutes trying to roll up a faulty car window during moderate snowfall.
  7. Reach destination and have glorious ski day.
  8. Sleep for 11 hours.
  9. Pack car.
  10. Pull out of driveway at 1pm and drive onto main route.
  11. Flat tire.
  12. Call AAA and every tire warehouse in southern Vermont area.
  13. Locate tire, drive to tire dealer, replace tire.
  14. Begin trip home at 5pm.

But it was totally worth it!
