Nuts and Bolts.....We Got Screwed

Where do we start.....

The weekend started off VERY sour. The cash of "classics" took a turn for the worst and we have the Mountaineer back :( Sad but true :( The dealer did not put the customer first (to say the least)! The dealer told us our cash for clunker was good to go when we bought the car and a week later when they couldn't get their money from the government gave us the ultimatum - bring it back and negotiate OR have it repossessed. We took it back, said "screw you" and have the old boy back. Friday night was not a happy night in the Baker household.

Still furious about the situation we have come to realize things happen for a reason and maybe one day we will realize why we were not meant to have the Patriot. We for sure will NOT be purchasing our next car from that dealership and we will do everything in our power to have no one else purchase from there. They lost a sale and a good customer!

After all that we were looking forward to a nice Saturday and Sunday at the beach with friends. We headed to Melbourne Saturday morning to soak up some good weather (it was about 95 and NO rain). A group of our friends rented rooms at a hotel but we decided to save money and get a camp site near by (We all know Kym is not much of a camper so when she volunteered this Scott jumped to the opportunity). The day was great - Scott caught some waves on his surfboard while getting burnt and Kym worked on her tan a little more. The group went to Meamaw's for some wonderful B-B-Q.

Then it got interesting...camping in FL in August...we should have thought twice about that one! Haha! Well everyone went to the hotel and we told them we would see them tomorrow at the beach. We got to the site and crashed - we were pretty exhausted from the day. Then 2 AM rolled around and we were both wide awake sweating (car read 85 at 4 AM), itching, burnt, and getting eating alive. So we laid there and laid there and at about 4 AM decided we both had enough of the sweat and bugs and drove home. Needless to say we didn't see our friends at the beach on Sunday.

Here we are Sunday afternoon exhausted and realizing the things we have learned in the past few days!
