So Long Chevy Astro!


This weekend we went back up to Morro Bay with James' parents and sister (with her family) to see about selling the Astro Van. It had broken down a few weeks ago (fuel pump) and after being told the fix would be about equal to the van's worth, we decided to sell it. My dad thought he might be able to do a quick/cheap fix, but that did not work out. We needed to sell it quickly as we were leaving the following day so we posted it on Craigslist for a fair price, but considering it was not running we were willing to settle if needed. Within 3 minutes of posting my phone started ringing and did not stop. Long story short, we ended up selling it for double what we asked and it was gone in a few hours. We are now carless, but that should change in a few days. Here is the last picture we have with the van.


Ethan and his cousin Elise loved crawling all over the backyard. We had to keep a little bit of a close eye on them as they loved to pic things (bugs, rocks, sticks, etc.) and pop them in their mouths.


After the van sold we went on a walk down to the beach. We found some great creatures including the giant (although dead) starfish as well as some baby crabs at which Ellie and Gavin were taking a closer look. Morro Bay is just such a great place to explore!
