The Neilson's: The New Car

Kevin bought a new car in February! He bought it online from Georgia. They were not able to ship it to us because of all the crazy weather we were having across the country! When does it ever snow in Georgia! So we set off for an adventure and flew to Georgia to pick it up and drive it back ourselves! And what an adventure it was. The first day we drove from Georgia to Tennessee. We spent the night in Tennessee. The plan was to head north and then west. Well when we woke up there was a thin layer ice and snow covering the ground! We watched the weather and it was going to be snowing the entire way if we took our planned route. We decided against this for two reasons, first we figured no one new how to drive around here in these conditions and they had nothing to properly remove the snow, second Kevin's car was rear-wheel drive. So we decided it would be safer to head south and then go west. The Weather Channel showed that this route would be dry. As it turns out, we still had snow! So much for the Weather Channel! We drove from Tennessee to Little Rock. While we were there we stopped for lunch and were doing some other things. While talking in a parking lot, Kevin's car started to over heat! Smoke was coming from under the hood! I was freaking out! I thought the worst, we bought a lemon! Kevin quickly found an Infinite dealership close by and we drove the car there. We got there minutes before they were closing. We ended up staying in Little Rock for 2 days! Nothing major was wrong with the car and most of it was covered under warranty. What and adventure! It was definitely more than we had bargained for! Needless to say, we were in huge hurry to get home to the kids because of this little set back. Once the car was repaired, we drove from Little Rock to Albuquerque. I took over driving through Oklahoma for the first time. I guess I was a little too anxious to get home because there I got my first speeding ticket ever! I was so mad! The guy was so rude and didn't even lower my speed! How rude! The last day was the longest, we drove from Albuquerque to good old Utah! We got home at around two in the morning! It was a long trip! We had a lot of fun together despite our little set back! What a way to celebrate ten years together!
