We're on a mission!

So Caitlin and I woke up at 11:00am, the earliest we have EVER woke up while staying together. We pulled back the curtains, looked outside, and everything was heavenly white. Excitement ran through us and then disappointment because we realized that while we were at Wal-Mart the night before we forgot to get stuff to eat for lunch. We were starving. She looked at me and I looked back and her and I said “let’s do it”. She has a mustang and the last time it snowed, we got stuck. Her mom’s car got stuck last time too, so it was up to my car. I have a Jetta. It is a pretty good car but definitely doesn’t have any high tech 4-wheel drive or anything like that. I can also recall speaking to my dad over the telephone saying “of course I won’t take the car out in this weather, I am more responsible than that”, but I pushed that to the back of my mind because my hunger came first! My car had no problem on the snow and ice. She was a champ. While we were out we decided that we should go look for a sled so we could have some fun. We were on a mission, determined to find one. Everywhere we went was completely sold out of sleds. This included Wal-Mart which has EVERYTHING, and the Tractor Supply. A nice old man told us about a privately owned hardware store that still had some in stock but told us to hurry. So we got in my car and scurried on down the road. We made it there in time, we got a green and an orange sled plus two pair of gloves we thought would not get wet and would keep us warm. After ringing all this up and $55 dollars later we headed back to Wal-Mart, making it like the 3rd trip in two days. We looked for snow boots, of course they were all out so we improvised and got some really ugly boots that you wear on normal occasions ( I don’t know who would actually wear them to go out). We both got a pair of long johns to go under out clothes and some other things. $60 more dollars later we were to enjoy the snow.
