Tiring Day! :-(

So we left our home at 6am and didn't get too far down the road when we blew our first tire. 

Yes, we blew a second tire just about 1/2 hour down the road from getting the spare put on in place of the first blown tire. So we only made it about five hours down the road toward Minnesota but were on the road for 16 hours!  We stayed the night at a truck stop in Spokane, WA. 

Here's a few photos of our hopeful start . . . and then the beginning to the end of our tiring day and beyond, into this morning at Les Schwab. 

We're pretty tired of tires!  

 The first blown tire took of this part of the bumper! 

 We were blessed to limp it back to a Walmart, where their kind tire folks helped us put our spare tire on.  We were also able to fix the bumper, Lewis County style.  

 Then, we were back on the road, and about 1/2 hour into it, we blew another tire in the same spot on the RV.

 We limped this time to a truck stop in Ritzville, WA.  Home of the "no attractions" on their "attractions" sign.  

 At least there was a nice view!  HA! 

 So this kind truck stop employee named, Jesus, had to go drive about an hour to pick up the right tire for us.  Then, they had a terrible time getting the damaged one off the rim for a looooooooong time! 

 We watched the sun set . . . 

 Meanwhile, they were STILL trying to get the tire off of the rim . . . 

 You know you're bored when DADDY takes a picture!!! 

 So we finally made it down the road a little farther to Spokane, where we parked at another truck stop for the night.  Then, got up early and drove to Les Schwab and bought two more new tires.  

This took another couple hours!
