Cruisin'

We drove to Ikea in Woodbridge Wednesday evening to buy cabinets ... after all that at Lowes (see "Restoration" below ) we decided to go with Ikea cabinets. Since we needed to be able to pick the cabinets up and drive them home, Scott suggested we take the dump truck. We're talking about a full-scale International with not one but TWO steps up into the cab. He was proposing that we saddle up into a veritable semi for a two-hour drive north with the baby in his car seat. The dump truck's stellar suspension system is so bouncy that we could charge admission for a ride at the county fair. Despite my protests, we ended up making the trip in Big Red. With his little brain rattling around in his skull, Sawyer slept the whole way. The best part, however, was pulling into the "family parking only" spot right in front of the Entrance at Ikea. A whole line of mini vans and then our dirt-caked behemoth. I am still kicking myself for not snapping a shot. I am tempted to make a repeat trip just for the photograph.
