Well, Tressa and I just got back this past Monday from our week vacation in Cincinnati. We had some ups, downs and more ups. Our vacation was full of playing, shopping, eating and looking for cars. That's right, I said looking for cars.
We started our trip with a little trip to Kentucky Kingdom Six Flags in Louisville, KY. Arlyn's company was throwing a party there for all their employees. It was great to go back to where we used to live, I hadn't been back there since we moved out to Peoria. Can I just tell you that we had the greatest time. Unfortunately, I could not go on any of the rides, not even the kiddie rides. Thanks to Arlyn and Colleen, Tressa had a great time. She loved the rides and her face would just brighten up with the biggest grin. It made my heart melt to see her enjoying herself. She absolutely loved the wooden shoes and the balloon ride (similar to the swings). I will have pictures for you next time, my father-in-law took all the pictures so I need him to make me a CD.
There was another upside to our visit and also a downside. Ken called me Sunday morning to tell me that the '88 Jetta finally saw its last days. It broke down while Ken was driving to work. So the whole time I was gone Ken either walked 2 miles to and from work or would hitch a ride. So my quest for the week was to find and buy us a car. After several days of looking with Colleen, we finally saw the new addition to our family. We purchased a ruby red 2005 Kia Sedona minivan within our low budget that only had 39000 miles on it. It was only leased for 2 1/2 years, so it is in great condition. We really like our van. I can't believe I am saying this, but we have now officially entered the minivan stage in our life. I will have pictures for you next time.
Now that I thought our trip has ended and I could stay home and get ready for the baby, we are headed off to Cincinnati this Friday to pick up our other car that we had to leave behind. I will post pictures this weekend.
I hope that everyone has had a great summer so far, I know that we have.
Happy 13th, B!

Welcome to the world of the vangina. It's a surreal existence. You'll love it, especially when you see that Tressa can get in and out by herself, and buckle by herself, and that leaves you more time to deal with baby. Yay for the vangina!
I keep telling mike that we are going to need a minivan when we get our next kid. He is in denial about it. I think thats the hold up on getting pregnant again! :)
