Came back in one of the worst rain storms I have ever driven in. I left the tollway because I didn't like how black the sky was getting and figured Babygirl and I could stop and do some shopping on the way back. I often do this when we drop Hubby at the airport because I don't get that far south very often. I took the appropriate exit, and about half a mile from the desired shopping plaza the sky opened up. It was raining so hard our speed dropped to a crawl. I drove through the shopping plaza to a nearby Home Depot thinking I could park under their awning until the rain let up enough to go in a store. The protected parking was already more than full. Driving through the parking lot it was raining so hard that the sewers could not keep up. My car created a wake as I slowly drove through the parking lot.
When the rain let up a bit I wrapped Babygirl in my raincoat that was thankfully in the car. She complained that the arms were too long and the hood covered her face. I explained that the long arms and hood would help keep her dry. With her unbuckled and swaddled in the rain coat I rushed out of the car, grabbed her and ran into the store through the flooded parking lot.
Inside the store a sightly wet Mommy unwrapped a dry Babygirl. I asked her if the coat worked? She replied "Yes, and I held on to you tight so you would stay dry too!" :)
