Our Weekend: Car, Boxes, and Beach

On Saturday we went to the car dealership where we bought our car.  Jake had been communicating with them about buying our car back.  Even though we bought the car six months ago, the title is STILL not in our name.  We're waiting on the DMV to get it to us.  At this point, it seems easier to sell it than to try and ship it without a title.

We found Dennis, the man Jake had been talking to, and we finally agreed on a price.  Dennis wanted to get the deal done today, so we drove to rent a rental car to take home.  We thought we'd be leaving our car, and taking the rental car home...



We went to Avis to rent a car, filled out the paperwork, and were given a rental.  Then, we got a phone call from Dennis-- apparently the car needed to be inspected before they would buy it.  (Why he didn't mention this detail BEFORE we rented a car, we'll never know...)  So we returned the rental car, and got back into our car.

Just kidding- back to our car

To soothe the pain and frustration, we went to Krispy Kreme.  (At least this time we skipped the donuts and only got a smoothie!)  We tend to reward ourselves with a "treat" when something stressful happens here.  Probably a habit we need to break when we move...



After dealing with the car, we wanted to do something productive, so we went shopping.  

Felt super safe parking by the "ranger"

In Home Depot, we picked up boxes, packing tape, bubble wrap, and a few other moving essentials.



Then, we made our last stop at Sam's Club.



When we got home we focused on packing a few boxes.  This is what our "packing area" looks like currently.



Sunday we decided to go to the beach and enjoy the sunny day.  We're trying to soak up as much of the sun and beach right outside our front gate as we can!
