We got some bad news while in Michigan that Brian 's mom was in the hospital . Although she said she was fine ( she was fine , but still had to hear it from the doctors ) and she did not want us to end our trip , we started to head back to Columbus . While on the way back Dad called and asks us if we wanted to attend the Red , White , and BOOM celebration in downtown on the 3rd with my cousin . This has been a tradition in Columbus for that last twenty years or so .

Q: Why did they end their trip early ?
