As most of you know, Josh and I have had a 1990 4-Runner since we have been married. It has been good to us, and although old, we both really liked it. The kids were attached, so much so, that at the mere mention of possibly getting a different car, it sent both of them into hysterics. The only way we could convince Will that maybe a new car wouldn't be the end of the world was when we told him that a new car could go faster and pass other cars on the road better than the 4-Runner did. So, on a whim (quite literally) and thanks to Cash-4-Clunkers we traded in our 4-Runner and got our brand new car.
We sealed the deal on the car purchase the day before we left on our road trip. I think that it made a big difference in how comfortable the driving portion was.
On behalf of the whole family, though, we bid our beloved 4-Runner adieu. You were a special car, in fact, maybe even one of a kind. We bought you 7 years ago for $4200 and traded you in for $4700. That just doesn't happen. You will be missed.

Hey, H
Here is a tip--don't stay where we stayed! We had so much fun though. I'd love to talk to you about it. We should get together soon.
Wow! What a nice ride, you hit quite the deal! You guys are getting to be quite the traveling crew! Can't wait to see you and the boys this week, wish Josh was coming!
