200,000 miles

In 1994, our family adopted our first brand new car. My father named him BABY BLUE.
He is a Buick Roadmaster Estate Wagon with all the bells and whistles that they offered in 1994. Yes, we really needed those heated side mirrors here in Florida. ;) But we have enjoyed the leather seats, and the vista roof. (My mother called this our Planetarium) Not to mention the LT1 performance motor that is under the hood. We have been on many fun family trips in Baby Blue. We have been to Indiana and all the way to Delaware. We have been to Williamsburg, VA for Christmas, to LOOK OUT Mountain, TN, to Greenville, SC, to Savannah, GA...and many parts in between! Baby Blue and I have spent many hours together reading. I have yet to master the 'driving' part with him, but I am sure that is just around the corner...if I don't take it too sharply. ;)

In June, Baby Blue marked a Milestone. See my father talked my mother into buying this car with a promise to her that it would last us 20 years. My mother is holding my father to his promise. :) We now have 200,000 miles on Baby Blue. God has kept it running (thanks to dad who is a trained auto mechanic), we have never broken down anywhere, it is always ready for us to go in.

In honor of turning 200,000 miles... Baby Blue took us to

Steak N Shake on Merritt Island, one evening. ;)

We took pictures of the odometer 'flipping'.

My mother allowed Todd to drive after the 'flip',

he was happy to start the next 100,000 miles!

I, of course, was seated in my spot of 14 1/2 years

directly behind the driver's seat. Really, it seems like

with all that experience behind the driver's seat....

I should be an expert... don't you think???

300,000 miles HERE WE COME!!!
