Go, go, go, go on an adventure

This morning as we departed our West Virginia hotel, Elliana and I
sang the theme song to "the cat in the hat" series on PBS. For those
of you without young children, the song has a phrase in it where it
says, "let's go go go go on an adventure." Little did we know that an
adventure did lay ahead for us as we traveled toward home.

Shortly after getting on the turnpike, a truck filled with items had a
large 15+ gallon cooler fly out of the truck bed and into the air and
traffic. The skillful driving of my handsome hubby had us swerve out
of the way of the cooler as it bounced onto the freeway just missing
our vehicle. I whispered a prayer of gratitude as I turned to look in
the backseat at my sleeping infant and entertained three year old.

A few hours later, we were happily driving down the Kentucky highway
and we simultaneously noticed a large Turkey Vulture sitting
comfortably close to the road. For reasons unknown to us, as our
vehicle approached, the large bird decided to begin flying. And it
flew. Right into our car. And, this was a very large bird.
