All week I have been looking forward to my 125 mi drive home to my parent's house this weekend. It's finally springtime and the midwest has been a balmy 65 degrees all week. Not so fast.
I started off the trip yesterday afternoon at about 5:00pm- the sun was still high, making a light jacket more than adequate. All winter I have sadly ignored my convertible top, and yesterday it finally got some attention. Top down, I started on my journey.
About 30 miles in, the clouds started looming on the horizon. MINI and me kept on motoring, but soon the temperature started dropping. Within 15 minutes, we had lost 20 degrees. Regretfully, I pulled off on the nearest exit and shut MINI's top.
The rest of the ride home wasn't nearly as fun- rain drops here and there, some good music and -20 more degrees, we were home. The taste of fresh air and wind wasn't nearly enough- I'm definitely ready for summer.
Today it snowed 6 inches. It's still going to be a while.
