Our weekend trip

So one of my brother's and his wife came for a visit this past weekend. We decided to go tubing in Front Royal. So we get there, sign the waviers and the guy at the register asked if we would like to check our keys. My husband, knowing our luck, still he replies "no thank you." We get on the bus, get on the water and start down the river. We took lunch with us, so we get the bank and have lunch. We get back in the water and as we are floating slowly doen the river, Micheal says, Oh no! I didn't even need to ask. He says, I lost the car keys! Luckily we have a code to get in the car, but we had to take a cab home. He thought he could call and they could just make a key, but it has a code chip in it. So today the car had to be towed to the dealership to have a new key made. He was furious. I was really good. I stayed calm and didn't give him a hard time.
The trip was bad to begin with. It took us 4 hours. It was so slow. I first I thought it wasn't going to be that bad. Relax, take in the nature around us, water, how can that be boring. After the first hour we were all done. Although some complained more than others. Then the whole key thing didn't make things any better. I can tell you we will not go tubing probably ever again.

HA! Good for you in keeping your cool. The last time we went tubing (WITH the kids!) a lady started shouting to us on the bank that there was a copperhead curled up on a ledge 40 feet above the water. My daughter started freaking out. Brian is trying to keep her calm, and yet shout (as the lady was 50 feet above the snake on the bank) to please quiet down, as we wanted to quietly slip by. I'm thinking I agree with you..I don't want to go do that ever again!

Oh my goodness, what an experience! I agree with Julie that you are to be commended for keeping your cool!

From what little I know of tubing, August is not a great month to do it because the rivers are low. Maybe in another month of the year, things would go a little more quickly. :)
