It seems like yesterday that Roxy rolled into our lives, with only four hundred miles on her odometer and all of the tread still on her tires. Back then, Chris and I were biased against cars, seeing no need for them in our walk-friendly city of San Francisco. Over the past six months, Roxy has become [...] We’re just a few weeks away from our actual wedding ceremony and all the details are finally being officially decided. Pre-wedding dinner, check. Parental meeting, check. Afternoon rodeo, check. At this point, if you are not a regular reader, you may be saying, “Wait, I thought they did a road trip instead of a wedding.” Actually [...] Roxy is solely responsible for eliminating my Fat Car Ass. She drives me to the gym when I don’t feel like getting up in the morning and encourages me to go to the mountains for long afternoon hikes. While we have several days left of interviews and meet-ups, Roxy has promised me that she’ll take [...] Everyone who has owned a car in San Francisco has a scary parking story. Mine took place five years ago in North Beach, an especially hilly section of the city. I was parallel parking on a downhill slope when I “tapped” the bumper of the car in front of me. “Tapping” is common practice with [...] We’re back in San Francisco, something that inspires mixed emotions for both Chris and me. While Chris is off at work earning his keep, I’m here at my apartment, catching up on episodes of The Bachelorette, working on freelance assignments, and plotting the in-state visits that will take place over the next thirty-six days. Apparently, there’s no rest for the wicked (or the Wedding Road Trippers). Roxy is parked outside on the street, basking in the late afternoon sun. I think she’s happy to have a bit of a rest before we take her out on the road once again. She’s not much of a city driver like her cousin the Fusion Hybrid, but she’ll do navigate the San Francisco streets if we make [...] This morning, Roxy, Chris and I were driving to my father’s house in Camarillo, one day away from returning to San Francisco. The three of us were talking about the return to “normal” life when Roxy brought up a good point… The trip is not over yet. With 36 days left until we get married, we’re just [...] As most of you know, Ford Motor Company graciously donated a car to us for our wedding road trip. She’s a 2010 Ford Fusion that we named Roxy. We get a lot of questions about her from our “guests,” so she deserves a little more [...] For those of you who didn’t know already, Scott Monty, the social media genius at Ford Motor Company, gave us a 2010 Ford Fusion Sel I4 to drive for our Wedding Road Trip. The only caveat? I had to wake up at a god-awful hour this morning to fly down to Los Angeles to pick [...] Ok, this might sound a little bit obsessive compulsive, but… I went to Target and purchased various sizes of green and purple plastic storage bins to organize our stuff for the Wedding Road Trip. I mean, serious, nothing says amateur like bringing a five-hundred pound suitcase into every house we visit while on the road. [...] |
