Well my spring training trip did not go as planned. I should have followed my gut and turned around Wednesday evening after we stopped half way through the 16 hour drive. I was listening to ESPN radio and heard about the NBA suspending the season. Instead we continued on and arrived in Jupiter, Florida about the same time everything was cancelled on Thursday afternoon. Instead if 3 days of baseball, we spent Friday at Palm Beach zoo and the beach. After some mini golf that evening, we decided to leave Saturday morning. All the public places were closing anyway.
The trip home was horrible. Due to 2 accidents, we sat on the interstate for 3 hours. My son got carsick, and it rained most of Sunday morning. On the positive side, we arrived home safely Sunday afternoon and everyone is healthy. Things could be a lot worse though. Everything here in Illinois is closing to the public. My wife and kids both have at least the next 2 weeks off from school. Restaurants can only offer drive through or delivery service. Even our local little league has cancelled all practices and games until May 1.
Life will be a lot different for awhile. I think we will all be ready for a nice vacation this summer. Just not in Florida.
Yeah, all this time off for everyone and nothing to do with it. Definitely a bummer but glad you made it back safely (and with your health).
