The long drive


 This morning we left the house at 5:30 a.m. for the long two state drive to WA.  This trip we needed to drive our bigger 8 seater car, the saturn outlook.  Since we would be gone a week we had lots of luggage to fit in the car.  Plus, it is nice to pop up the third row single seat for Kayla to have her own space for less fighting during the long 13 hour drive.

Things went quite while during the first 4 hours.  The next 4 hours seamed to take forever.  Then the trouble hit.  Our power steering started to go out.  Thankfully only at slow speeds.  Then, our air conditioner stopped working as well and temperatures outside ranged from 94-99 degrees.  It was a hot, muggy mess in the car!!

Thankfully my brother offered for us to use his minivan for the week once we arrived.  The power steering was a recall for this vehicle so we brought it to the dealer in town for them to fix it.
