Satan's Kingdom

Yesterday we went to "Satan's Kingdom" haha!!!




We went tubing down the Farmington river... they provide the lifevest, tubes and the bus ride back to your car. It's about a 2 hour float with class 3 rapids! It was a ton of relaxing fun.


We were chilling in a mellow section of the river and Jake was struggling to reposition himself on the tube. He thought it was funny that we had the same size tube even though we are definitely different sized people. He told me that I was "over there playing video games on your houseboat while I'm getting a full core workout just trying to stay on this thing!" haha!

No longer in happy valley...

We went to Circuit City tonight to buy some CDs. We went to look at the Blue Ray section but found an empty isle. Curious as to what had happened we asked a salesman where the Blue Rays were, he said that earlier this week they were robbed of their entire Blue Ray stock!!! What's even worse is that it happened in the middle of the day when other people where shopping! CRAZY! They said it will take them a month to restock their shelves!

Our First Baby!

Well.. if you haven't already heard... we bought a CAR!!! It was a long and exhausting decision, balancing our wants and needs. But we finally found a solution - the MAZDASPEED3. It is a turbocharged, 2.3L, race tuned machine that turns out a whopping 263 HP!!! (pretty good for only 4 cyclinders!)

We went to a dealership after deciding it was the car for us, the salesman told us that since we work for Pratt we get invoce pricing on our car. His manager came up to us and said that the Speed is the only car not available for invoice pricing, but he would honor what the salesman told us! So we got our car for a great price!

It is so much fun to drive!!! You can peel out in 6th gear on the freeway (not that we have or anything...) It feels like a go kart!

We are loving the gatchback, so far we've used it to move our TV stand, our new couch, counter stools, lots of groceries and more! When you fold down the seats there is a ton of space!





We were debating between the Speed and the Subaru WRX (which is more expensive). After watching this YouTube video we felt good about our decision to go with the Speed: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=i6PGMi89qRo
