Nina and I drove down to Orem today and picked up our new (to us) Toyota Avalon which was bought for us last Friday at an auction in Las Vegas. It was a good day to be somewhere besides outdoors as it was cold, windy, with rain and snow squalls.

We drove the Tracker down and drove two cars back … with two nice respites. We stopped on the way back at Heather’s to show Ty what he had done for us. They left almost right behind us to go to California for Spring Break.

The second stop was in Ogden at Maple Garden Chinese restaurant. This was one of our favorite restaurants when we lived (many years ago) in Pleasant View and the food was as good, or better, than we remembered. Nina ordered take out to bring home!

We’re back to being a two-car family … one car for each person. While it hasn’t been a problem, I think we both appreciate the ability to not have to coordinate every trip out of the house with whether or not the car will be available!
