Argh! I absolutely hate taking my car in to be serviced. I especially hate taking the car in to be serviced when I have two children with me! AND I really hate taking my car to get serviced when I have two children and the service is more than an oil change and they have my car for six hours and don't tell me that six hours is a possibility when I drop it off. I was already tired of hearing how bored my children were after 30 minutes of waiting so I asked them if they wanted to go on an adventure and walk to the Gym. They said they did and about 45 minutes later, we arrived at the gym, hot and tired, but not thirsty as we all nearly drank my entire 48 oz. bottle of water on the way. They were overjoyed to sit in the AC and watch cartoons and I was warmed up nicely for my run, to say the least.
Now the kids really did a great job and I didn't want to make them walk back, so we called the Daddy and he picked us up and deposited us at the house and we all had lunch together. Still I was incredibly curious how far we had walked so I google mapped it. And I love google!
Did you know that when you google directions and google sees that it is a short distance they suggest a walking route??? Not only that but I'm fairly certain that the route is based on sidewalks or at least low traffic areas! How fantastic is that?? If I had known, we would have mapped it while we had wireless at the dealership and followed the directions all the way there. As it was we had to detour making what could have been a 1.3 mile walk (google's suggestion) into a 1.5 mile walk. Not that shabby. Like I said, the kids did great. I really wanted to walk up to Ace Hardware after lunch but the kids were not up for another exciting expedition in the heat, on the same day.
