North Carolina | Living My Full Life

Hello. I’m home from North Carolina! Jimmy and I left NC at 3:50AM on Saturday and made it home by noon.

My parents, sister, neighbor, grandparents, and uncle were not so lucky. They all left in our rented (from Enterprise) GMC Yukon at 10:00AM and made it to Maryland, with only a little bit of traffic and 3 hours left in the trip.

Then the trouble happened.

The transmission straight-up died in the Yukon and they were stuck on the side of the road in the 103* heat. My dad called Enterprise and they said a replacement vehicle would be sent out to them in 60-90 minutes.

No luck. The person bringing them the vehicle couldn’t find my family. It wasn’t until 6 hours later that they got a replacement and could finally drive home. No one had any food or water all that time. My grandparents had an especially tough time because they are in their 70’s and in poor health.

My family arrived home at 3:00AM and everyone had to sleepover. It was crazy trying to fit everyone in bedrooms, on couches, and on the floor.

I’m just so happy that no one was hurt or seriously harmed. We also got fully compensated for the rental — woo!!

Have you ever had any crazy traveling troubles?

My life in 30 days, day 20 = A picture of somewhere you’d like to travel

St. Basil’s Cathedral in Russia !

I did some research 🙂

1. The Cathedral is in Moscow, Russia (The capitol)

2. It was erected in The Red Square in 1551-1561

That’s the Red Square ^

3. The buildings design is shaped as a flame of a bonfire rising into the sky & no other building in Russia was built like this.

4. It is now used as a museum and the museum sure is pretty!!

Murals in the galleries

I used to be way more obsessed with Russia, trust me. I don’t know why it appeals to me because I dislike cold weather and I have also heard people there can be unfriendly (another thing I dislike!). But people are unfriendly everywhere and it is cold in Pittsburgh, in fact, it is snowing right now.

One day I hope to visit Russia 😀

Here are some cool places I HAVE been to:

Cozumel, Mexico
