We left our house in our little rental car about 9am, headed for Columbus, Ohio. The kids did really well with the drive. (The drives to NY and Holden, along with the "DV-go player", as Abbey has always called it, have gotten the kids pretty acclimated to long drives).
We made excellent time and were almost there, when John had to stop rather abruptly. Suddenly, our "check airbag" light came on and stayed on. I quickly scanned the owner's manual and read that this little warning meant the airbag could possibly do one of two things~
1. discharge for no reason or
2. fail to discharge when it needed to
neither of those two things sounded very good to us, so when we got to Columbus, John found an Enterprise and we went to get a different car.
The first Enterprise only had one car they would let leave the state. From the looks of it, I'm not sure it would have made it to NC. So, off to the airport Enterprise we went. What a good call that was! We were upgraded to a very nice car, twice the size of the one we had, all for the same amount of money.
We made it to Dorina's house, only about 40 minutes late. There was plenty of food waiting for us and the lawn games were just getting started. The girls didn't miss a beat, they picked up just like they had been together all year!
As darkness took over outside, the girls, (and Elijah), gathered and began watching, "Frozen". Abbey was completely in her element. It was fun to listen to them sing the songs.
The next morning, we went to The Center for Science and Industry, COSI. This was a neat, neat place.
