Hey again,
I’m sad to report that we lost our iPad mini that we have had with us since right before Arabella was born.
Here is how she looked. She was well loved for over 10 years. That does go to show you that some Apple products last a long time.
In other news: As of the 15th, we now own a Tesla Model X Signature Edition P90D.
This sucker cost over 142k when it was brand new. We paid less wayyyy less than that. About 35k to be honest which was still very expensive for us. Considering that the car only has 40k miles on it and is in very good shape – it was worth it. It is actually worth more than what we paid for – which cars are usually something you expect to lose money on anyway, so it can’t hurt to start off in the bonus.
Why this car? Well.. we can’t stand the big gas bills. We also wanted something better for the environment. We would have opted for a PHEV or Hybrid, but the options that are out there are SUPER limited and not very nice.
You can hardly get a Toyota Highlander Hybrid from 2012 for south of 30k. Our car is old (as it is a 2016) but it makes up for it in the Signature edition and the super low miles.
Anyway, I know a lot of people are against EV’s but not us. Ever since we rented one last year (A Subaru Solterra) we really liked them… again the biggest hassle was finding a car that would fit all six of us. Problem solved, we at least have something we can fit and that we will keep for the time being.
I really hope nothing big happens that causes another change in cars.
The weather outside has been beautiful. Temps in the 50s and 60s with rain. June showers are lovely. The kids didn’t mind going out to the park in the weather either.
We had bath fitter come out and replace our shower. It was broken and was leaking water. This really the year for change isn’t it? I think it looks amazing now.
Back when we were looking at the Tesla, we told the kids that if we got it we would get In – N – Out for dinner. So to make well on our promise, we took them down to Salem. The kids are so enthralled with the car because of the gullwing doors like a DMC-12 (the car from Back to the Future).
The next day we took a trip over to Tillamook and had Ezra try his first food. Tomato Soup from the Tillamook Cheese Factory. He wasn’t sure if he preferred it.
Did I mention that the weather has been great outside? Due to this the lawn has needed to be mowed pretty much every week on the dot.
