exciting drive to boston
we're in boston! the drive was pretty uneventful-- rohan napped, we listened to "this american life" podcasts-- until we got to ma. we stopped, filled up, and changed rohan's diaper. then, we put rohan back into his carseat-- uh-oh. we ended up with a crying infant with about 40 miles to go. he finally calmed down a bit 20 mins in (we fed him crackers) when we decided to take rte 1 off 93. big mistake. the exit was curvy and ICY. i cracked the bumper on the barrier. hooray for barriers-- this was on a bridge! we watched cars spin behind us and drove past a multi-car collision.... rohan ratcheted the crying up and continued. we stopped asap and alok sat in the back with him. then, about 5 mins later (or so) rohan choked on crackers. pull over, baby puked all over himself, the snow, and me. a nice cop came over to check on us, and helped us pull off the curb. damn these icy roads.
feeling lucky tonight.
ironically, this article on ice was on the front page of the boston globe.
