Roadtrip Riverside

Had a nice afternoon and eve up in Riverside with Katie's dad Greg and Debbie. Also had the great pleasure of seeing Katie's good friend from UCLA John. All in all a fine day.

Oh, so I should explain the last picture. I drive a ton. Gayle may soon be driving to work herself. So let's see, should I drive the '67 Buick...10mpg, the truck at 13mpg or the tractor 2hpg. (that's hours per gal for the city folk) Nope, it must be time for a commuter car. So I google best mileage cars and start from the top. Prius? Too trendy and I'd be humming the theme to Larry David all day. Civic Hybrid? I don't really qualify as plain 20 something gal. Jetta Diesel? Let's just say I no longer find Jettas attractive. Mini Cooper? Well Gayle used to be a subject...let's go Brit. And hello 36mpg.

So in my search, I decided the only thing I didn't want was a silver mini. Reason being, that was the color of Greg's mini I drove back in '06. I figured if I'm going British...I may as well go full monty...British Racing Green with tan leather. We fit the baby seat and the two of us in fine. Enjoyed a nice ride up to Riverside. Pulled up to Greg and Debbie's.

Turns out I'm senile and BRG is quite popular.
