Baltimore or bust

Last Saturday after we officially bought the new van, we couldn't wait to take her out for a real spin. We had debated a Smithsonian trip but since we got a later start than expected, we switched our plan to Baltimore.

It was an unseasonably warm day, sunny and beautiful and the Inner Harbor was filled with folks who were out enjoying the sunshine and scenery.

We squeezed in a quick trip to the aquarium.

And followed it up with dinner at the Hard Rock. It was a fun day trip and got our new van all broke in for our upcoming road trip to Disney. Woot woot!

New car

I said good-bye to a good and faithful friend on Saturday.  My beloved Alero.  My first major purchase.  The car I drove to my first real job.  The car I snapped an infant car seat into.  The car I drove countless times to and from the Jersey shore.  Alas, with nearly 200,000 miles and a backseat that can barely squeeze three, it just wasn't practical to keep her around anymore. 

So we traded her in for this bad boy...

I guess there is no denying that I am in full blown middle aged soccer mom mode now.

Oh well.

Happy Monday everyone!

P.S. Some of you asked for a wedding post.   I was going to wait until I had some pictures back from the photographer, but I will try to do a little recap with some pictures I have cobbled together from friends. Stay tuned.
