The Vacation That Wasn’t
Posted in All Posts on 25. Mar, 2010
I just got back from my spring vacation. I know what you may be thinking. Beach, sun, surf, and sand. But no. Think again. I went back to the motherland. Now don’t get me wrong, during an average year if I were to visit Oklahoma, the temperature would likely be in the high 60′s, with lots of sunshine and maybe some rain storms; a good vacation by most standards. But nah. Because I decided to leave The Great White North for a week, they had unseasonably warm weather and sunny skies. What was the weather like in Oklahoma? Snowy. Yup, I said the filthy, dirty ‘S’ word.
It’s a filthy, dirty word because it caused rescheduling of baby showers, canceled lunch date with friends, and dashed my hopes of soaking up some sun. I tried to stay positive throughout this unlucky vacation, but after a while I must admit all of the inconvenience got to me.
I guess the positive aspect of this unlucky vacation is that I was very eager to get back home to my regularly scheduled life.
What’s the worst/unluckiest vacation you have had?

I’ve been pretty lucky with weather when I’ve gone on vacation. There was of course the time we went to Utah and were both sick from heat exhaustion but that was more because we were not used to the temperature and thought we would handle the weather better.
Is it really usually warm enough to go swimming in March in Oklahoma?

I love that you had to point out an oil derrick. I never thought about it but I guess you don’t see those every day driving down the streets of NH.
I think I was in that same blizzard when it hit Denver. Next year, if I’m not headed to a beach I’m not leaving home!

I know what you mean. Each year I swear I’m going somewhere tropical to make it through the winter, but I never end up going. One year, I will though.
I know! It is really awesome to see them again and I’m so glad I was able to snap a picture of one.
It’s not usually warm enough, but my Mom has a heated pool so her pool would be warm enough to swim in March.
