Vroom Vroom

    I almost forgot. I wanted to tell you about the boys...all three of them.....favorite part of this past vacation. The thrills. The excitement. Wait for it. The candy apple red Mustang convertible. 

  That's right a car. We didn't need to spend all that money and time travelling. We could have just taken a car out for a test drive!

  We drove to Downtown Disney, or whatever it is they are calling it now. So as a surprise I rented a convertible which just happened to be a Mustang. Boy does it look pretty. The black leather seats. The highly polished red exterior. Gorgeous.

  Then you get inside. Well leather is hot. Especially on a hot day when the roof has been down for hours. And when you have people in the back, even little people, there isn't much room. What a hard job getting into it. And John, at six feet, was pretty darn close to the steering wheel.

  But hey it's a convertible and the sun is shining. So with big smiles we start off.  It's just a little over an hours drive. Quickly the kids realize you can't see an iPad screen with all that sunlight. And that the air is just as hot at 70mph as standing still. Don't forget the air conditioner is a waste of time. Not to mention the tangled hair.

  We do our shopping, a few Christmas ornaments and a mug, then head back to the ship. This ride is nicer. The temperature is nice. The breeze is cooler.  The sun has gone down some so you can see the screen again. Perfect. 

  As we were driving back I could easily see what the appeal of the convertible was. But I'll never buy one. 

  Ever.
