Vanishing McDonald's

So, this is a story that still trips the fuck out of my mom, dad, and me (or at least it did with my dad until he died...). To sum it up, we literally saw a McDonald's vanish in the blink of an eye as we were driving to it. There's no other way to put it. This happened years ago after my parents were done filing their taxes. In front of the tax place there was a McDonald's very directly in front in the same parking lot. We had agreed upon dining there, so we got into our car and we were driving towards it. As we were driving to it, it literally... teleported. Vanished. I don't know how to put it. My mom started getting really scared, and we pulled up to the parking lot where it should have been. It was gone. My dad was in incredible disbelief, attempting to rationalize what had just happened, and we decided to search everywhere all up and down the street for it. Nothing. My dad even brought up a question. What the hell happened to the people inside? And yes, it literally vanished in front of my eyes. It was an incredibly weird experience. Nothing even close has ever happened since then.

So to put me and my family's thoughts at rest, what the hell actually happened that day? Was it really a "glitch", or were we just collectively hallucinating the mcdonalds? And no, we weren't on drugs!
