Throwback Thursday: January 22, 2022

This seemed like the perfect Throwback Thursday post today with the forecast of snow & ice for much of the East Coast this weekend:

From Taylor’s Facebook page on January 4th:


Well I’m sure MANY of you have seen the news about all the horrendous incidents from I-95 over the past 2 days. Well, me and Bailey had the pleasure of getting stuck alongside many others in Virginia. We left Oak Island at 7:30 yesterday morning to head to Pittsburgh for the game last night, due to our flight getting cancelled twice, thankfully we stopped at 11:30 for food and to fill […]
