A night trip

I had heard about light house in Presque Isle that might be haunted while I was in England. Mom had suggested earlier in the day that we go see it...so at 8:30pm I said lets go. Off mom and I went. We both figured it would only be a short drive. An hour and 15 minutes later we were outside of the "haunted" lighthouse. This is of course was after having driving around in the dark next to the water (I have an irrational fear of driving into the water) After checking the lighthouse out we headed back to the house which was 77 miles away. We had plans to get gas in nearby Rogers City. Apparently on Sunday night everything closes at 10, except McDonald's which is open until midnight. So here we are far from home (millions of cars are around because some massive party or event had ended) with enough gas to only get us to the very edge of Cheboygan. We, well I, was panicked! Some how we managed to make it to the first gas station in town. Our car has a 28 gallon tank. I put in 27.531 gallons! Needless to say we made it home and mom got to live the edge again by seeing how far we can go on low gas! At least the lighthouse was cool!
