The Vacation Story

It all starts the night before we leave. We pack the car to get an early start.

Of course the check engine light comes on. Since we dont know what it is, we take it in early, and they say its just a sensor. It may or may not be bad. So off we go.....

To our dealership. So its the interior and exterior thingy sensor, that regulates gears. It drops into wimp mode, so you cant drive above 2nd gear. I will say this, however. This dealership rocks! Suresky in Goshen has EXCELLENT service, which is why my parents, brother and I all bought cars there. So 2 hour delay, some time on the slide inside, and some cheese doodles, and we're back on the road.

Oh, and our extended warranty covered it. So $54 instead of $400......

So we arrived. A bit cool, due to Ernesto coming in. But that doesnt stop us from having some fun. Like race cars and frog bog:

But Alas, like all good things, poop happens. Like the Hurricane that came through. It washed a shed away(till the backhoe got it to safety):

Did I mention the storm was so bad, that the building we were in lost power, something that had not happened it something like 20-30 years? It wrecked friends of the family's jet skis on the docks(as well as the docks). What ever the news said for lower NJ, they lied(they said 20 MPH winds with gusts of 50. No it was like winds of 50mhp, with gusts higher).

We did of course go outside the building. Even played games of "hey sarah, can you walk to mommy or daddy in the wind?"

Then it blew itself out, and fun began anew:

Near the tail end of the vacation, we ended up at Storybook land.....which, REALLY deserves its own post, which I'll do tomorrow. But I'll say this much: if you have small children, and one near you, GO!
