Trip Update #2

After changing the tire, we found a Firestone (Thanks to our AWESOME phones - all we did was type in "tires," and it brought up all of the tire stores nearby. It also gave us hours of operation, phone number, and brought us right there with our GPS... can you believe that I can even blog from my phone?!) Closing in just an hour, they squeezed us in, replaced two tires, and balanced and rotated our tires. We hung out in the lobby. Luckily they had a box of toys for the kids! Both of the boys decided to have poopy diapers (which was nice it wasn't in the car!) and we watched "Dancing With the Stars," while chatting about the interview tomorrow.

At 9:00pm (an hour after the store closed) we pulled out of the tire shop and with two hungry kids, drove a couple blocks down the road to Hardee's (a restaurant Erik and I enjoyed as kids, now known most places as Carl's Jr). With the day that we've had so far, it was no surprise that when we had just started eating our Hardee's dinner, we encountered a traffic jam in the middle of no where. The luxury of three lanes was better appreciated when traffic was narrowed to one lane because of construction.

The kids and I are hoping to make it to the pool tomorrow while Erik is at his interview (which will be interesting - the pool part!).

ETA: midnight
