Winter Driving

We headed out to the International Airport in Portland to pick up Ashley and Amanda's new dog. By the time we got to Salem we realized that a snow storm was moving in! We couldn't NOT pick up the dog at air cargo.. we had to go on despite the weather conditions. We arrived to find out that the plane had a 2 hour delay so we then headed to Denny's to treat everyone to hot chocolate.. by that time the snow had piled up almost a foot!

The airport parking lot for the cargo was covered in snow by the time we arrived

 

We found out the plane was delayed 2 hours so we headed to Shari's

Hot chocolates all around!

2 hours at Shari's crept by..

We got to the airport at 11 pm only to find we would have to wait another hour....

Finally around midnight we were told that the plane had been rerouted to Seattle and we would have to come back the next day to get the dog! They assured us that she would be well taken care of..

The next morning Grady and the kids had a very harrowing 4 hour trip back up to the airport. It was crazy and dangerous but at the end of the day.. the pup showed up safe and sound. Praise the Lord!
