Off to Arizona in our New Car!


Well My oldest sister Aimee lives in Arizona so for the UEA break another sister and her kids and my mom have decided to make a visit...this will be my first time out to see her...In fact its my first real long road trip in years...Its a 12 hour drive and guess who gets to do all the driving??? Me of course because its our new car Jesse really wanted me to be the only one to drive..which im used to him doing all the driving so this will be a bit new for me. So about the car, Its a Yukon XL...we decided we needed something that would fit 3 car seats and eventually we will have more kids so we just need more space. I LOVE it! its everything Jesse and I wanted in a "family vehicle" My husband Is Anti Van...I could not bribe this guy to get a van...thats how serious he is about not owning a van...silly ...i know...it must be a guy thing, i dont care either way...but the nice thing about this is that it is bi-fuel so it runs on both Natural gas and regular gas... We can fill up for (are you ready for this) $9.00! it is 12 gallons so it will only run half as long as a full tank of regular gas so that means i have to fill up a bit more often but really its worth it to me. So that is another reason im excited for this trip...I would like to see how much this trip will cost fuel wise...since Natural gas stations are few we will be using both ...but still im hoping to see a big difference.... Any way...Pray we have a safe and happy trip...I forgot to mention we will have quite a few young kids and babies on this trip...I just hope THEY will do well! I will post more when we return! I was on a roll there for a bit!
