Our Memorial Day 2008

We had lofty plans for a fun filled Memorial Day using our free admission to Sea World (the military gets one free day a year to go to any Sea World/Bush Gardens). However, after realizing it wasn't getting above 65 today and getting wet at Sea World just didn't sound fun with a high of only 65, we decided to work on our lengthy "to do" list. However, we only got one item crossed off our list....Clean out our 2005 Honda Odyssey so we can take pictures of it to post on craigslist. We were seriously cleaning out our car from 10am until 6pm! Well, I took a lot of breaks, but Rob was at it the entire time. Here are our mats before....

...and after. Thanks to our Kirby vacuum that we bought on eBay for a fraction of the cost. Our last moving crew lost it.

Scrub-a-dub-dub.

The boys thought it was pretty funny that their carseats were out of the car.

And here is the car in all it's glory. Looks like new!...well, almost. I will surely miss it when it's gone.

Wow! Looks great! Must have been pretty dirty if you had to clean it all day ha! ha! Although, I am in no position to laugh, we have to clean up our family car once a week otherwise it quickly gets out of control with all the snacks that get everywhere... Great job you guys!

I love the oddesy too. We can pack a ton of crap in it. Looks great, we really need to clean our carpets too. How did you get them so clean?

Looks great. Sounds like a fun activity for the weekend. Your cruise looked like fun too. Glad to have you guys back!

Yeah, that's why we opted for the car mats after a week in our red dirt!
The cruise looks awesome, love those!!! I need to get me a good workout and skinny dippin' action, bring it on.

Way to go! I had no idea what having a child could do to a clean car. Now I have no idea what a clean car looks like.... When do you guys head out? I can't wait to see pictures and hear of the adventures. Much love to your family. We are sure thinking about you.

So if you can get a van in Japan, why can't you take this one with you?
