What a weekend!!

We had quite the adventure this weekend. Let me start off by saying no kids were hurt in the escapades, they were safely playing at Nanas house.
Saturday DH and I went car shopping. We are looking for a new van because our little car just is not holding up in the space department. We decided to head to Toronto because we had found some "awesome deals" on autotrader. We are driving, everything is dandy. As we start to pull off the highway, into the ghetto, the car starts acting funny. DH pulls over and we find out that we have a flat. Yay. He gets out of the car on the side of the off ramp and changes the tire. All those times I gave him grief for not being handy, he proved me wrong. He can change a tire in a few short minutes. SO he changes it and off we go. Around the corner with our beautiful donut on the car and boom boom boom. The donut is FLAT! WTF!! So there we are, downtown Toronto, in the GHETTO, with no tire. Luckily, there was a little mall (if you can call it that, it was so run down I was afraid to step inside) and we were able to call a Taxi. Thank goodness for a decent taxi driver, he knew of a tire place just around the corner. Off we went. Get to the tire place and they were wonderful. Took our tire back (which we had to bring in the cab with us) and fix it right away. As we were waiting, a homeless man comes into the shop and starts asking me for food. I tried to be polite but he was VERY persistant. Dh had to end up talking to him and he finally left me alone. We get our tire, call the taxi and back to our car. DH changes the tire for the third time in a matter of an hour and we were left with one whopping hour to look at cars. We got to two places that had "deals" online. Funny, NONE of the cars they advertised online were on the lot. ALL with high miles and shitty body. NOTHING like what they showed online. GRR!! All that for nothing! Back home we go. We made it home and took the car in the next day for new tires all around. What an adventure.

Oh a side note, the girls had a blast at my parents and they had quite a few stories of their own when we got back. Leave it to papa to make the day interesting. :)
