Seeing as we will now have a regular backseat rider, we knew it was time to get rid of the Solara and get another 4-door car. We had done our research and knew that we were looking for a white Acura TSX before Evan arrived. We had test-driven one and had found a few online with low mileage that were in our price range. We were especially interested in one car in particular at a dealership in Canton, MA. We drove out to see it on April 25
th, only to learn that it was not actually in MA yet. While we were waiting for Evan to arrive, we also waited and waited for the salesman to call us to tell us it arrived. A phone call that did not come until Tuesday, May 18
th! And we thought we had to wait a long time for Evan to arrive!! We decided to go on Friday the 21
st to see the car, only to find out that it had already been sold!! Much to our surprise, the salesman from the dealership called us on Saturday to tell us that the financing for the buyer had fallen through and that the car was available. We knew we needed to act fast and went today to see the car.
As soon as we saw it we knew it was beautiful. Just what we had been hoping for! We took it for a test drive and then started talking money. The dealership was willing to give us more than we had hoped for the Solara, which just sweetened the pot. After conferring for just a few minutes, our decision was made. Sold!!
Goodbye, Solara! You were a great car. | Hello, TSX! Four doors but still sporty. |
So where does Evan fit into all of this. Well we left the house around one o’clock, got to the dealership, took the car for a test drive, negotiated a price and then went to get a sandwich for a late lunch all while Evan slept! Amazing! We kept thinking that he was waking up and we would need to feed him either at the dealership or while having our lunch but he down for the count - at least until about five minutes before arriving at the Cenotti’s. We had originally planned on having the Cenotti’s visit us but it made more sense for us to go to them seeing as we were going to be in Canton anyway.
Needless to say, we arrived at the Cenotti’s with a baby who was famished and soiled (to quote Bruce). Luckily they have lots of experience with babies and were not scared off. You may think this was an extremely long day for a baby just over two weeks old, which it was but he took it all in stride. It was so nice to visit with Amelia, Chris, Abby, Conner and Emily. Great for all of them to meet Evan!! We know we will make many special memories with them in the years to come!
Hi, Meal! | Chris looks like he has done this before | Meeting Nurse Emily |
