So, Hubby and I take off early today to go to pick up my car and bring it back to M'Boro with the intention of taking it to the repair shop that's worked on it before for a second opinion.
On the way to Lebanon, something broke on Hubby's car. His brakes have been dodgy for a couple of weeks, and we were hoping to extend it for a couple more since my car needed so much repair. But nope, the issue was forced and we basically exchanged one car for the other at the repair shop. (They said my car was okay to drive back to M'Boro, and it was--it's running really rough, so we really don't want to move it too much until we move it to the new repair shop, heh.) Something really broke in his brakes and they almost failed completely (freaking us both right out) and by the time we got there, brake fluid was basically pouring out of the back brakes.
So, on the way home, we decided we would simply rent a car for a week while we wait for his to be repaired. Then we will take mine to Phil's for a second opinion.
We rented the car (a lovely, champagne colored 2006 Ford Taurus), had supper at a fabulous little catfish place, and while we were there Hubby declared he just wanted to get out of town for the weekend.
I agreed.
So, we are going to visit Shiloh National Military Park and we are not taking the interstate. We decided we will drive there along the regular roads. We are going to take our time, visit the battlefield and the Indian Mounds and perhaps spend the night in a motel. We may or may not, but we're taking an overnight bag just in case.
We just need to get away for a bit. :) Pictures will be taken and posted when we return.
I think we've earned a road trip, don't you?
