Visiting Sullivan

Ed, Madeline, Zoe, Lily, and I had an awesome visit in Sullivan, MO, yesterday for about 5 hours too long. We were on our way to Springfield for the weekend, innocently cruising down the highway... when a trail of smoke started to follow us. We pulled off at the next exit, got to the gas station, and stopped there. Ed thought that the coolant was leaking. However, the gas station didn't have any coolant, so they sent us on our merry little way down the road 2 short miles to the nearest mechanic shop. About halfway there, the car stopped accelerating when you pressed on the gas. Now, I don't know much about cars, but I know that ain't right. We were able to get a tow truck to pick us up pretty quickly, thank goodness, and take us to the mechanic's shop... where we waited. and waited. and waited. 5 hours later, Enterprise hooked us up with a sa-weet pick-up truck and we cruised the rest of the way to Granny and Poppy's in style! Today has been a much better day.
