We were en route to Louisville two days ago when the ice storm hit St. Louis, so rather than risk driving off the road to our doom, or at least the end of the road for us, we broke down and got a room at Motel 6. It was a hard decision, since we are really tight on cash, but we felt we had to be safe rather than sorry.

Pretty, but deadly - Ice Storm 2007

I have driven through some extreme weather, but a sheet of ice is hard to combat - snow, rain, wind - no problem, ice skating on the other hand has never been my thing.

I woke up this morning to warmer temps outside, just the rain and fog that all of the St. Louis area has been engulfed in since we got here. I realized as I walked Cheyenne through the parking lot that this is the first time Shane and I have slept in an actual bed since June when we left our apartment in California!

Today we head East to visit some relaitves of Shane's and then heading South East to milder weather.
