I kept thinking to myself there is no way we will be able to leave.Tomorrow is Christmas and we were stuck at a hotel. Although the hotel was very nice, spending time with my family at the moment was not my ideal week vacation. I wanted sun and water. Instead I received a snowed in family vacation.

As the sky lightens, I would awaken even more. Just as the clock hit 7:30 A.M. sharp my alarm went off, “beep, beep, beep” desiring that I had gotten more sleep. I had opened my eyes like I had 50 cups of coffee, and jumping out of bed like a deer running from its predator.…
