On this day in 1492, the crew of the Pinta (one of Christopher Columbus' ships) mistakenly thought that they had spotted land. Your prompt: When has a trip of any sort not turned out as initially expected?


Really no. All the trips that we have taken as a family have been pretty much planned. At least the actual driving part. But, I can think of a funny exploit as my mom and I were traveling to Mt Rushmore. We took the long route (I don't think there is a short route) through the Upper Peninsula of Michigan and while were were traveling west on some long lonely road I had to go potty, #1, really Really REALLY bad! I was to the point that when were hit a bump I felt like I was going to pee myself. So, at the first rest stop we pulled over. The bathrooms were pretty far from the parking lot so I went to use the facilities while Mom watched the car. I went to the building and grabbed at the door to shut it, but there was no door. A quick search outside found the door leaning against the wall. Well, I had to go so bad I just did and hoped no one would show up. I got back to the car and my mom said she was going to use the bathroom. I asked how bad she needed to go, she asked why?. I told her there wasn't a door. She said, "Not that bad" and we drove to the next rest stop.
