When I was 15, my Dad bought a Fiat Spyder convertible that needed some work. It was red with a black top, and right before I got my drivers permit..he sold it. I was so bummed. How fun would it be to ride with the top down, wind in my hair?! Ever since, I have wanted a convertible. When I was a teen, my parents said it was too dangerous, and the insurance would be too high. Practical cars followed...having a baby, need a four door to get the car seat in and out. Child gets older, need a mini van to haul everyone around. 0% financing after 9/11....buy a brand new practical small suv...good for skiing, family, and travel... I really have loved my Ford Escape...
But.... the son is 20, we do have a 4wd truck, if we need to haul something....and it is does seat 5, if we need to take people with us...So,
This is my new car! Well, new to me anyway! I love it! It was between this and a Beetle convertible...but 6'4" husbands don't fit well in VW's! And surprisingly, this car has lots of room inside...even in the back! I'm heading out to Chehalis, Wa. to teach a PMC class next week, and then to Portland to meet up with some Bella's and take a couple of Lisa Kaus' classes. I almost wish I was driving!
Oh I can just picture us girls with the top down and our hair blowing in the wind ;) Guess I'm just gonna have to make a trip back to Cali for that ride!!
Can't wait...not many days left till your here to play!

Too Cute, Natalie! You are going to have to come back down to So Cal so I can have a ride! I've been coveting a new convertible that just came out....my husband laughs at me and says I'm an SUV person. But, like you said....no more kids to haul around, etc. I may do it next year!
Have a great weekend!
XO

Ooooh! I wish you were driving too! We could tie scarves in our hair and drive with the top down! :)
