Updates, or "How to go through three vehicles in 28 hours"

Sorry for setting up shop and then abandoning...we’ve had quite the week here! I will post a re-cap of the lovely North Shore Thanksgiving feast-o-rama with friends later, this post is regarding the events after Thanksgiving. Here’s the quick ‘n dirty story:

11.28.08 Woke up on the Day After Thanksgiving to a gorgeous North Shore morning and a missing car (vehicle #1). This, our only car, was full of stuff since we decided to move in to a new apartment during Thanksgiving weekend. We spent the morning filing police reports for the missing car...in the meantime a second batch of thieves crept in to the driveway and took off with three more surfboards from atop Katie’s car! DOH!

After the same policemen came back and more reports were filed, we then abandoned the thievery hot-bed and hit the beach for the afternoon. It was the second jewel of the Triple Crown and pretty exciting. The ladies were shredding! And then the waves picked up and the men went out!

After the beach Ethan and I borrowed Darren’s truck (vehicle #2) so we could commence with the move. We headed back to town and moved all evening. The next morning we tried to fit an early-morning beach swim in before the moving craziness began again...but then Darren’s truck key mysteriously disappeared and we were stuck in the parking lot with wheels but no way to get the wheels moving. DOH again! It began to seem like someone was telling us not to move this weekend...

Ever the determined pair, we recalled that our insurance will cover us for a rental car until the stolen car is recovered! So we left the keyless truck and trekked down to get a rental car (vehicle #3). The rental car dude felt sorry for us and gave us a rather large 4-door Chevy truck so we could finally get back to the moving that was supposed to be happening.

So, after some setbacks we are finally moved in to the new place and the stolen car has been recovered! But, of course, that is an entirely other store in and of itself...more to come from the (not so) simple life saga...
