Yesterday I told Lena to pack for an overnight trip, and that I'd be back in an hour. I went into town and rented this:
She was totally surprised, although her first reaction was "But my sandals are in our car!" Luckily I'd retrieved the sandals before changing cars.
We then drove up the coast and through the redwoods.
The most fun part of the car is the acceleration, but unfortunately, it only takes a few seconds to get up the speed limit, so you take your fun in short segments of time.
We checked into a little "suites" motel, that was very nice, went for a run, then walked to a fancy restaurant for a great meal of clams and prime rib.
The hotel had lots of DVDs to borrow, and we watched It's Complicated, which was really good.
Next day breakfast at one of our favorite restaurants, then home.
So, instead of buying a fancy car, it works well to rent one once in a while. I only wish they had some additional fun cars to try out.
Mystery trips are almost always fun!
