Brian, Sharri, Cameron, Riley, Grandpa Doug & our neighbor, Rob went to the Air Show at Hill Airforce Base. We left around 12:00 pm and picked up Grandpa in Sandy and headed up. As we were driving a couple of signs kept saying "FREEWAY CLOSED at MP 313, US-89, use 1-215." We didn't think that was where we were going ,we we ignored the signs and preceeded on. Well, around North Salt Lake, the traffic was all backed up. There was also construction and narrowing the lanes down to 2 lanes each way. We also thought it was the construction that caused the traffic to be backed up. Wrong Again!!! We were stuck in the traffic on the freeway for 1 hour and then were forced to exit and head west. We then thought they were re-routing us to Legacy Highway, but we ended up to the entrance to I-215. We should of did what the signs said way back in Sandy and we would have been fine, but we didn't. We were supposed to pick up one of Grandpa's friend's in Kaysville, but we got there too late, and he went on his own. We we arrived at Hill Air Force base, we had to wait in another line to Park and then walk a while to get into the base entrance. We found a spot to sit at the front line and then saw the THUNDERBIRDS show from 4:30 - 5:00 pm. We stayed for a little bit to look at the static airplanes and then headed home. We stopped in Centerville for some dinner and the Lonestar. When we arrived back in Sandy at 90th S, where Grandpa left his car, it was missing. We couldn't find it anywhere. It had been towed away, because the parking lot had signs all over saying "UNAUTHORIZED VEHICLES ARE PROHIBITED AND WILL BE TOWED AT OWNER'S EXPENSE." We saw these signs, but figured they were there when the Lowe's was in business. Wrong Again. We called the towing place and yep, they had the 1990 SAAB and we had to bring $191.00 in cash to claim it back. We think because there was a REAL Soccer game that night, they use the parking lot to charge for parking. It was a fun day, but the traffic back up and the car towed kind of made it not so fun too. I guess the moral to all of this is "READ THE SIGNS" and do what they say.
