The highlight of January... the car show

Every January we look forward to going to the car show up at the sandy expo center. It's the highlight of January. If you knew my husband, you'd know how much he loves cars. He's had over 25 vehicles in 9 yrs. I'm not kidding either.

Saturday we headed up to Salt Lake mid afternoon. Went to dinner at the Cheesecake factory. Went shopping for work pants for me since mine have up the ghost the day before. And then headed to the car show.

We loved looking at the jeep adventure they had this year. We decided to for go the HUGE line though. The Fisker display was incredible. Gorgeous electric car!! Admired the Nissan 370z. Drooled over the Audi R8. Loved sitting in the LandRovers. And of course dreamed of the new Mustang 5.0. Then we discussed our personal favorites of Ferrari. Mine is the Ferrari California. And Mitch loves the classic Ferrari. As always we had a fabulous time.

We head back out to car. I was exhausted!! I was ready to crawl into bed. The Judah had other plans... Didn't want to run for us. At all. It'd turn over for us but would then die. No amount of pumping the brakes would help. We were sitting ducks. I was SO grateful I grabbed my coat as we headed out the door earlier and I wore my warm cozy boots. After trying to get the car started 3 dozen times... I finally called our roadside assistance. {I'm so grateful Mitch added that to our insurance policy}. With a tow truck on the way, Mitch called his dad and he made his way from Spanish Fork to Sandy to pick us up. Thank you a million times over Dad for helping us out!! We asked to be towed to the VW dealer there in Sandy.

I am proud to say that even though I was exhausted I managed to stay chipper for Mitch. {I don't usually have the best track record when im beyond exhausted.}

We dropped the Jetta off, filled out the drop box envelope and then Dad pulled up. Mitch went to show him what it was doing. And what do you know... It fired right up. You've got to be kidding us. Mitch tried it a couple more times and it kept starting. We decided it was not worth a chancing it to drive it home so we left it at the dealer.

I was so grateful to finally make it home and be able to collapse on my bed!! Unfortunately the boys were ready to play and had energy to spare.
