...and you end up driving more than halfway to Buffalo! I told my mom I was going to share this story with the world, or at least the handful of people that take a peek into my life each day, so they could laugh as much as we did. We made plans with my grandma and uncle to meet in Batavia which is halfway between Rochester (where we were) and Buffalo (where they live) for a sort of birthday dinner. After a most delicious meal, full of laughs and some lovely pictures, Mom and I got in the car to head back to Rochester...or so we thought. Faced with a fork in the road as we entered the tollway, I-90 West and I-90 East, we panicked and picked West. Which equaled wrong. How is that 2 intelligent women with plenty of years experience driving between Rochester and Buffalo among us managed to pick the wrong direction? It resulted in about 20 minutes driving out of our way and and extra dollar or so to get off at the next exit and turn around...luckily we were laughing, and had no place to be other wise we could have gotten a bit snippy with each other. I think we just have to write it off as one of those 'duh' moments, a blonde moment if you will. We all have them, blonde or not, and being able to accept them, laugh at yourself and move on is a lesson in itself.
Though, I still think that you should have known more, Mom, considering you drive that way at least once a week... ;) Love you!
P.S. Thank you for a most fabulous weekend. :)
