crunched on 101



Today was a fabulous Saturday. It started out with a trip to urgent care after Jessica, who had been reading books, started wailing and holding her eye shut tight screaming owwie. After about 20 minutes of this, we realized something could be wrong. Evidently, she scratched her cornea (with what we assume is a book page). About two hours after we got back from the doctors, we decided to head to Costco and our little adventure turned into a 2 hour ordeal as we got rear-ended on 101 while at a dead stop (the guy behind us was unable to stop). Luckily, no one was injured in the car accident. And, given how bad things could have been, the damage wasn't too bad on our end. As the fireman on the scene said, in this type of situation, the car with the most lug nuts wins. Thank you GX470 for being so beefy and tank like. Jessica didn't even make a peep when we were hit as the car only jolted slightly, and the worst thing Jim and I can think of was our cokes spilled inside the car, Here our some photos we snapped at the scene (for those who want to gawk). We sure had many gawkers starring us down as Jessica played on the side of the road. The fireman were nice enough to help us remove the dangling piece of rear bumper so we could drive the care home.
