New Toys

Last Friday we bought a new (used) car. We are now the proud owners of a 2008 Subaru Outback Wagon. It is charcoal gray, has heated seats, a built in roof rack, and it is really fun to drive. When I was in high school I drove a old Subaru wagon and loved the hatch back, and I have to say that I am still incredibly taken by the "fifth door". I have already used it for diaper changes while we are on the go, the stroller fits in beautifully, and it is a perfect way to travel with gardening supplies, outdoor equipment, and home improvement goodies. I think we will love that car, especially in the winter time. After a very long and drawn out decision making process (that included a very complex spread sheet thanks to husband) we didn't find the perfect combination of fuel efficiency, cargo space, and comfort, however, we did end up with a car that we like a lot until there are better options on the market.

So in the Subaru today, I tooled around the south metro. Visiting my sister, going to my step sister's garage sale, and visiting the in-laws. We returned home with some great new (used) toys and for Benjamin from the garage sale.

New toys for everyone!
