Brett's off to work after another waffle & egg breakfast. YUMMM
Car quote is in.. Turns out Saab sent out a notice about this oil/crank case leak problem. Our local car fix-it people here in Eldridge don't see many Saabs, b/c the only dealer is in Iowa City.
The notice says there is a pressure release problem and if we don't change it and get the PCV update kit they can not guarantee it won't leak in the future.
ALSO, they said it must have been a problem before we left GR b/c the hoses were zip-tied. Then, b/c we drove so many mile like that on saturday the pressure built-up and caused this wonderful leak problem.
SO- 450 to fix the current leak and no guarantee on parts and labor, OR- 580 to switch out with new PCV kit update and 1 year guarantee

| 9:30 AM off for a walk to town. We have a bike trail right outside our hotel. |

| Zoom in and read the sign, (funny to me) This is the main drag of highway that goes through here. |



After a long walk and playground visit it was time for a dip in the pool.
We went to Old Navy yesterday and picked up new suits. being in the pool everyday requires more than 1 suit! ;) PLUS they were all 40% off.E picked out 2 new sandals, the ones pictured and a pinky purple pair to match her other new suit, YES she has 3, a 2-piece from grandmaA, this 1pc, and a UV rash guard tee 2pc (i'm sure there will be plenty of pics of all of them.)
JANE- if you are reading this, I think I lied about saving money on this vacation and banking the extra we may have!
