The Worst Vacation Ever!!!!


Okay, I never thought I would say this, but I had a terrible trip back home to Indiana. Actually, James and I both did. Brady had a good time though(thank goodness) So, it started out like a typical drive last Thursday night. We left after work and we drove till about 6:30, and decided to stop for some supper, and let Brady get out of his car seat for awhile. We had some IHOP, and we were on our way. We drove till around 11:00, and Brady started to get cranky. We normally drive straight through, but we decided to get a hotel room and crash for the night and drive the rest of the way in the morning. We got to bed around 12:00, and Brady decided he did not want us to sleep. He would not quit crying. He was very loud, and we knew we were keeping the whole hotel from sleeping too. James said, "If he doesn't stop soon, we are going to have to get back in the car and keep going...we are going to have a lot of people complaining soon." So, guess what we did...Yep, we packed back up. Now by this time I am starting to get a sour stomach. James went and got the car and I waited for him in the lobby. The nice desk guy was standing there as I suddenly became very ill. I didn't know what else to do but hand Brady to the guy(poor guy) and run back to the room. I got sick and sick again. So, for the next 5 hours in the car, we stopped at least every 15 min to use the restroom, and every other exit, James had to pull over on the Interstate for me to throw up. Nice Huh!!! This drive should have taken 9 hrs, but it took at least 15 plus.. One of the stops, as I was hunched over out of the car, we got a nice visit from a policeman...He probably thought I had been drinking, but he was very nice, and didn't make be walk a line or anything. We thought I had food poisioning, and we still don't know what it was. I am not the only one that had a nice trip... Yes, 1 day later, James had the same thing happen to him. He got very dehydrated and I had to take him to the hospital. They gave him 9 bags of fluid, and they admitted him. He had to stay over night for observation too. They thought he might have appendicitis, but 3 CT scans later, that proved to be wrong, and he got to go home the next afternoon. All the while, I am still sick. We were sick the whole trip except for the day we had to drive home. Brady had a great time though, and I am so glad he didn't get it. What ever it was!!!
