First Day With The Top Down

The cars that is, we went out yesterday washed the eight pounds of bird shit off the car (I swear they are just waiting for me to get home.) and it was so nice we put the top down and decided to cruise around town. I meant to turn at the local greenhouse, got talking, missed the turn ended up being on the highway. I suddenly hear this screeching voice from the back seat. “MOM! I’M FREEZING BACK HERE!” Yep I’m a terrible mother, I always forget how much more wind you get in the back of a convertible.

Now this photo obviously was taken after we parked, because her seatbelt is off, but I wanted to give an idea of just how much of my daughter was visible in the rear view mirror when she was yelling. My mother said I will have to bring a quilt from now on because I insist on having the top down as soon as it hits 50 degrees outside.
