yup, folks, you heard it. i am inside here, typing away for you, because the battery is dead.
D.E.A.D.
K moved the van this morning, backed into the driveway so it was easier to load, and we actually all were in it..well, K wasn't bc he had to move his car into the garage, but me and the kids were in it, and it wouldn't start.
this is the source of the trouble...
it wouldn't turn over, it wouldn't' do ANYTHING. so out came the jumper cables. yeah, let's give it some juice.. nothing. we called my Dad, God love him....the mechanic he is...we hooked up a battery charger and read the meter...nope, the battery is toast.
so K and J are off to buy a brand new spankin' battery.
this is the best start to a vacation I have EVER had in my life.
PS please pray the new battery takes care of it...because if it is the starter....
PPS thank goodness my computer had the slots where I can just put in my memory card. otherwise you may not be reading about my great start of vacation because I would have had to dig for the bag with all the camera accessories, just to locate the required cord to hook up the camera.

Hope everything went OK after that. Years from now you will have something to laugh about!
Yikes, I can feel your pain! That is craziness!! I'm impressed you still went on the trip! I think Keith might have thrown in the towel at that point:) (P.S. Our starter did go out about 2 hours into our trip home from Florida about 3 years ago...we made it!)
