We started off leaving on time Wednesday morning. For the most part the ride down there was okay. Before we knew it, we were about 20 miles outside of Beaufort! All of a sudden, a cop comes out of nowhere and flips his lights on and starts following us. SO, we pull over, and my parents pull over as well so we don't get separated from each other. Well, the cop first goes over to my mother and says she was going 40 in a 25, then comes to us and says we were going 43 in a 25. Sweet, so looks like we are getting a ticket. If mom had just driven off she probably would not have gotten pulled over because we think he only really saw us speeding. Anyways, moms ticket ended up being about 150, and ours was $189. SO LAME. SO. Wednesday, Thursday and Friday were just super tense because we all were just ready to get Jake and take him home. FINALLY we get to leave Friday around noon. we are about 3 hours into our trip home, talking, laughing, listening to music, enjoying ourselves, when I notice that the car sounds really loud and thankfully we were getting off at an exit to fill up on gas. WELL as we pull off the back of the car starts vibrating some and I look out the window and see we have a flat tire!!!!! So, Jeb and my dad start to replace the tire and then it just starts pouring rain :( Lauren, Jeb, dad, Jake, and I are soaked. We also happened to notice that Jebs other rear tire is just about shot, so we now need 2 new rear tires.
So, even though we really didn't spend much money on this trip, it ended up being pretty expensive because of everything that happened!! But, it was worth it.
