Bay Area Weekend Trip

Mia and I, plus Finn, took a quick opportunity too see my family for Andy’s 4th birthday and to overall just take a chance to see everyone at one time outside and safely. They were able to reserve the private playground at the children’s school in Sausalito and we could all hang out for a few hours, have cake, and let the kids play.

In other news, it was Finn’s longest car ride with us and although she didn’t get car sick, she was pretty restless. She also chose to hold it for about 7 hours even though we stopped several times to let her roam around and drink water.

In other news, my car went in for an oil change and came out with a new mechatronic unit which is a several-thousand dollar computer for the transmission. As I drove away from the dealership, the transmission was stuttering. Turns out it also needed an entirely new transmission as well. As of this drive to the bay area it was during the waiting period for the transmission and I was admittedly a bit nervous the car was going to strand us somewhere. Luck was on our side!
