Driving

September 3, 2016

The kids and I were headed to Walmart yesterday to do groceries and pick up a few items.  We’d just settled into our new campground and Scott had some work to do.  The Walmart is literally 5 miles away and it’s a straight shot.  I didn’t think anything of it.  I wasn’t even planning to…
