What a spectacular 24 hours this has been. Comerica Park was really cool but that game seems like it happened last week because of the unforgettable 14 hour car ride that included flat tire in the middle of the night. Peter and I drove the first 6 hour shift, which included rush hour traffic out of Detroit for me. (That would drive me crazy to do that every day) Then at midnight we handed over the reins to Aaron and Nolan for the rest of the night. We watched "The Sandlot" until we fell asleep at around 1:30 am. About 3 hours later we wake up and the car is not moving. So naturally we think "YAY! We are here." No. We are 72 miles out of Kansas City and Nolan is on the ground fixated around the tire. To quote "The Sandlot" we are in the biggest pickle of our road trip. We unscrew all the necessary bolts and try to yank the tire off but it just won't come off. So Nolan calls his dad at 5 am and tells him our situation and Jeff tells us all we to do is kick the top of the tire. Sure enough I kick the tire and it comes right off. We drive to Kansas City and Aaron 's childhood home and we crash until right about now. It is crazy to think we only have one more game. What an amazing trip this has been.
