Aftermath of an Accident on I-95
Near Yemassee, South Carolina
March 30, 2025

The trip was supposed to be a surprise. Our departure from Florida headed for Maryland to celebrate a significant birthday was a closely held secret. Well, much like attack plans, our travel plans leaked.

Well, it wasn't national security and since even the Secretary of Defense can keep secrets, secret; I am not upset that the secret is out. In fact, it makes life easier. Our family is terrible at secrets, why? Because, from the time the kids were small Chris and I drove home the idea that families don't keep secrets. 

Chris and I are excited that we can celebrate a significant birthday with one of our kids. 

Traveling is always an adventure. Today we were slowed by an accident on the southbound side of I-95. It was a major "looky-loo" event on the northbound side. I have no idea how semi wound up traveling north on the southbound lanes. 

We should arrive in Maryland today.
