Chris and I had scheduled time off of work to go visit his family in Minnesota. Two days before we were to fly out a blizzard was fore casted in the Midwest. Once we heard about the storm we debated about still going. However, since we did not have trip insurance, a cancellation on our end would mean losing everything. Saturday we hoped for the best and got to the airport early. Everything was still on time once we arrived so be boarded the plane for Denver. Once we were on the ground in Denver and allowed to turn our our cell phones, I checked my messages. Sure enough I had one from the airlines saying our Denver flight to Minnesota was canceled! The earliest they could even try to fly us out was 8:30pm the next night, not only that, but after talking to Jody she was uncertain if we would be able to drive from Minneapolis to Rochester. The storms were suppose to keep up all week, so we decided even if we made it to Minnesota there would be a good chance we would not make it back home. In the end we decided to get on another plane and head right back to Boise.
Now we joke that Chris is just such a thoughtful husband he decided to fly me to Denver for lunch and back!
Sunday we found out Minnesota received 20 inches of snow, part of the metrodrome collapsed, and even the snowplows were grounded. That was was kind of nice to hear and know we made the right decision, but we are still both upset that we missed out on seeing the family. Hopefully our schedules open up enough for us to try to get to Minnesota again.
