9/29/2010

This is the date Kris turns 16 as mentioned in the below post. Besides getting the Jetta (I think we'll be pulling some money from his savings just to teach him that not everything in life is just going to be handed to him) we're also taking him on a trip to Philadelphia to see the Eagles play the 'Skins on Oct 3. The eagles are his favortie team. Don't ask me why, it's just who he seems to have picked as his favorite.

4 tickets to the game, flight, hotel, rental car = $2000.00
(We really do spoil that kid)

We'll have the whole weekend in Philly which will give us a chance to see such things as the Liberty Bell, Indepence Hall, and whatever other historical stuff we can find. Oh, and we'll all definitely run up the "Rocky" stairs.

The Wife's 2010 Malibu

I think we'll just call it the "BU". Picked it up last night. It's a standard Chevy Malibu 1LT. But we had the dealer upgrade the interior to heated leather seats. This thing has all the bells and whistles except for the automatic butt wiper. OnStar, XM, bluetooth, cruise, power seats, remote start and dozens more to numerous to mention.

I think I'm covered for birthdays, anniversaries, Christmases, Valentine's days, etc. for at least the next 6 years.

We're keeping the Jetta (the dealer really wanted it since it's a 99 with only 65,000 miles). We'll be giving that to Kris for his 16th birthday when he gets his DL. In the meantime I'll be driving either or the Jetta or my truck. I'll switch back and forth. The biggest problem we have right now is parking and jockeying the cars around to get out of the garage/driveway.
