Well, we planned to be in the Outer Banks for the weekend. Had been looking forward to it for weeks. Lena woke up this morning with strep, but that's wasn't going to hold us back. We figured she could rest at the beach as well as she could rest here.
I thought of everything -- spent three hours packing the sand toys and swimsuits, Mike left work and I picked Niko up from school early -- and we were on the road in time to get there for dinner.
Problem was, the van apparently didn't get the memo. It died 50 miles into the 100-mile trip. We considered limping the rest of the way, but decided we shouldn't risk it. So we called a friend to pick up me and the kids, and AAA to tow the van. And $120 and four hours later we were back where we started.
Stay tuned... I imagine I'll be posting photos of our new van within hours..
