Today we made the long journey home to good ole Eastern North Carolina. I wanted to keep Garrett on schedule as much as possible so when he awoke at 4:15 am, we got up, got dressed, and hit the road. Garrett slept for the first half of the drive and continued to be quiet and content for another hour.
Then...it happened.
Justin was driving ahead of me in the Buick and his belt popped off (the Buick's belt, not Justin's belt) along with the tensioner-thingy. Anyway, we pulled over, called AAA, and waited for the toe truck. It was going to be at least an hour. GREAT. All that preparation and planning for nothing. Garrett WAS NOT happy!
We let Garrett crawl and roll around the inside of the Explorer to wear him out for the rest of the drive.
Then we walked him around to enjoy the beautiful scenery....
like this. VOMIT! GAG! GA-ROSS! *dry heave*
The toe truck finally arrived an hour and a half later. Poor old Buick...it's been good to us ever since we bought it from Mrs. Harrison 6 years ago. The Buick is the best kind of car...a "no car payment" car. We love those :) "We'll meet up with you at Preferred Auto in K-town, good friend."
Little Man wore himself out from all the pretend driving he did with daddy in the front seat. He napped the rest of the trip and awoke just as we got in to Kinston.
It's so good to be home!

Oh man! That stinks... It seems like when you prepare and think things through, something like this happens. Err... Oh well, I'm glad the Buick was good to you.. up until today! On the other hand, Garrett slept the whole way?! WOW... that's great! You look wonderful too, by the way! Already skinny! You guys have fun in NC!
