Each June the residents get a week or two off to graduate the second years and promote the first years. We are officially half way through this thing. Yippee!
So, we decided to take advantage and visit with Matt's parents and sister in Columbia. The pool was a very comfortable 85+ degrees and the weather was perfect. Millie liked the pool but preferred to roam the backyard, follow the cat and climb the steps more than anything.
During one of our evenings, Matt and I got a date night. We had an hour to kill before our movie so we skipped over to Carmax to look at minivans. This inevitably started the series of events which led us to purchasing our Sienna, not from Carmax... but thanks for the test drive! It's funny to think that we might not have gotten a new car had it not been for the early arrival to the movies. But, really, I don't think we would have had a better time to do it. Millie wasn't with us and we didn't have another baby in tow which is what I was envisioning if we had waited until after our boy got here. I would not have been a happy camper and I know for sure we wouldn't have gotten the deal we did. Six hours of negotiation and a free lunch later, were were the proud owners of "Pearl."
