No not with a trip to WDW, but to me the next best thing. For the last 3 years I have been driving a Dodge Grand Caravan! It was OK at first because of the extra room with our 3 kids, but I quickly became to dislike the van. For the past few months, we have had one repair right after another.
Wednesday morning, I asked DH to go to Walmart with me to just pick up a few things. When we came to the intersection to turn right to go to Walmart, he turned left. I immediately knew where he was going, but really wasn't sure I wanted to go. Yes, a car dealership. To make this long story a short story, I came home Wednesday afternoon driving a 2003 Ford Expedition(Eddie Bauer edition). It is so cool!! I think the kids are more excited than I am. It is slate blue with silver around the bottom, lt brown and cream leather interior, 3 rows of seats(the back seats let down with a push of a button), a 6 disk cd changer, A SUN ROOF!!!!!, a DVD player with fold down 7" screen for the kids, and so many more buttons that I haven't figured out yet. So far, the only bad thing I have to say about it is the gas mileage. I have driven almost 170 miles since I got it Wednesday, and I am only averaging 12 mpg.:( This isn't great when I have to drive 20 miles 1-way to cary the kids to school! But, DH just bought a 1986 Mitsubishi Montero for hunting this year. It is terribly UGLY, but is does get about 25mpg. I keep telling Ashton(Oddball) that I am going to start them to school in it! She said OK, as long as I put her out about 4 blocks from school!!!!;) I don't know why a 13yo girl would be embarrassed by this vehicle, do you?!?!?!?!:rolleyes:
Well, I must go for now! I don't mean to sound like I am bragging or anything, I am just so excited that I am not having to worry every time I get into a vehicle if it is going to get me where I need to go or not!!!!! Thanks for letting me be excited!!!!!!
:mad: :sunny: :teeth: :wave: :teeth: :sunny:
By they way, I never made it to Walmart!!!!!!!!:rolleyes:
