Mature!

We bought our van 16 years ago.  I wasn’t given much choice in any options because Paul wanted to buy a vehicle THAT day. 
So green it was.  . . with built in car seats though we didn’t have any kids that needed car seats.
Little did I know I would still be driving it after all my kids had left home.  In fact, I have renamed my van . .. it is now a portable storage unit!
It was traveled all over. . .most of the longer trips have been between here and Utah.
It has a rebuilt engine, a new transmission and no air conditioning, but it still runs.

I was certain that I would surpass the 200,000’s before March was over . . . but the battery kept dying.

I got a jump start. . .

and my oil checked and topped off. . .

And this time I was going to drive it enough to. . .
charge the battery enough so it would start the next morning . . .

and to surpass the 300,000 milestone.

I guess our van is now broken in.  It’s matureSmile
