Cars

Hello everyone, this is Morry.

This morning, we drove the kids to school.  Again the temperatures were hovering around freezing so we didn't walk.

When we got home, I took Rachel's car into the dealership.  It needed regular service plus there were a number of recalls on the car.  Nothing serious - no major airbag issue or anything.  But we wanted to get it taken care of.

Rachel picked me up from there and we went over to the Toyota dealership.  I decided to trade my car in and get a Toyota 4Runner.  For the whole baseball season, I was struggling to fit all the baseball equipment in the car.  Many of the parking lots as well were dirt, gravel or worse.  I really liked the ILX but it was time to change.  I had gone in on Saturday and started negotiations.  The dealership contacted me yesterday and then I engaged a few more dealerships and was able to talk up the price of my ILX and talk down the price of the 4Runner.  Last night we came to an agreement over email.  The process seemed to take a long time even though everyone seemed motivated to make it go quickly.  But we are happy with the car.

We walked to pick the boys up from school.  Lizzy came with us.

Rachel tutored Audrey this afternoon.

For dinner we used the leftover rotisserie chicken for tacos.

The boys are now getting ready for bed.

Until next time...
