Today me and my lil one were going to the zoo.. I was on the freeway and my tire exploded.. I was going about 75 MPH too.. Luckily I didnt lose control of the car.. I pulled over and the tire was totally distroyed. I was riding on the rim.. Anyways I get the car over to the side of the road.. I open my trunk only to be reminded that I had my jack and tire iron in the backyard at home.. Stupid place to put it!! I was helping my neighbor because he had a flat and I didnt put the stuff back in my car. So I get my phone to call a friend to come help me out but I had no service!! I figure the only thing left to do was to start walking.. Me and my lil one get out and are walking on the side of the freeway and get to the exit.. Walk down the exit and there is nothing around.. No stores or anything. I thought to myself Im screwed... While walking back this lady pulls over and tells me that she will call the highway patrol for me.. So she calls them and leaves.. I continue walking and someone else pulls over as well.. This guy had a jack but his tire iron would not fit on my tire's bolts.. So we just start flagging down people.. Some lady pulls over and had the right size! So I use the guys jack and the lady's tire iron and I put on my spare.. When I got done with that, the CHP (highway patrol) pulls up and we told him that we had it all taken care of.. So then I continue on to Oakland and look for a place that sells tires... The only place I could find was firestone.. They charged me $93 for a stupid tire! I had to do it because I wasnt going to drive home on that tiny donut spare tire. After that we stopped at Mc Donalds for lunch... We ate and I could not find my keys anywhere! They werent in the car, they werent in my pockets, they werent at the table I was eating at... I didnt leave them at the front counter.. The only place I could think to look was the trash can where I threw away my food wrappers.. I pull the trash can out and was digging through it (which was embarrassing, but I didn't really care at that moment). Luckily they were in there but they were covered in ketchup... I washed them off and was on my way. After that we finally make it to the Oakland zoo only to discover that it was going to close in an hour (it closed at 4pm) so we didnt even get to do what we left the house to go do!
Instead we went to San Fransisco (which is just across the bridge).. We went ice skating. After that we ate at the Rainforest Cafe (a restaurant that looks like a jungle inside with animatronic elephants, snakes, apes and fake plants all over the walls/roof, waterfalls, aquariums, etc etc.. its really cool).. After that we walked around the warf and looked at the boats and water and whatnot... Then went home. The 1st part was really unlucky but the 2nd part was ok.
