Quick Trip with an Oops
Last Wednesday, we headed up to Indiana to visit our friends in Bloomington, and attend one of Thomas’ old coworker’s weddings. It was a great trip, although way too rushed. We left after work on Wednesday, so we stopped halfway at our friends’ Kelly Jo and Steve’s house in Nashville and spent the night. Kelly Jo was in the same fraternity as me. The animals below are one of their cats and Frankie, their dog.
When we started to unpack the car, we came across our big oops for the trip. Oops, our suitcase was not in the car trunk…or in the backseat… Thomas thought I put it in the car, and I thought he did, but it was still sitting in our garage at home. Oops.
It all worked out though. We were able to run by a Walmart and pick up some necessities, and then when we got to Bloomington the next night, we ran by the mall and got some new clothes. Luckily, Thomas was renting a tux for the wedding, but I had to buy a new dress and shoes.
Thomas is working on the wedding photos, and I’m working on the rest from our adventure. We stayed with three different friends and visited a few of our old favorite places, including a great birding park. Unfortunately, we drove through Ike on the way back, right as we were crossing the Louisville bridge - yikes! I’ll post more later this week.

Great animal shots. You captured their colors and their personalities.
We almost encountered the same clothing snafu on a trip to my cousin’s wedding a few years ago. Luckily, we were only an hour or so down the road when we realized that the suit back with the good clothing in it wasn’t hanging up in the back of the car. Lengthened the trip somewhat, but there’s no way I could have found a suit off the rack.
Oops, indeed! At least you got some news clothes out of it.

I have totally done that before. We got about an hour into a business trip and i turned to my hubby and said, “You have the clothes, right?” And he said, “I thought you did.”
Oooops.

What a thing to forget! It sounds like you made the best of it though :)
Oops is right. :) We have occasionally not taken suitcases but to forget it, uh-oh! Glad all worked out. :)
Glad it all worked out. That was because both of you are easy going.I would have been frantic.
