And We're Off!

 Introducing the first ever Paine family Hong Kong car!!! 
After 6 years we made the purchase we never thought we would- a car! It is a Mazda Premacy, pretty basic, with low miles, 7 seats, fuel efficient and entirely luxurious to us because it is "private transportation".  This last week both Jason and I did a lot of running around to get registration, insurance, car seats, my drivers license etc. And today we took our first family outing in the car.
Annette is loving it and it put Josiah right to sleep
Intense Hong Kong driver, he actually looks more intense when I'm the one driving!
 We drove to a friend's birthday party on Lantau Island. To get there we went through two long tunnels and two huge bridges.
 It was a beautiful day in Discovery Bay and the kids wore themselves out at the party playing in the sand and the playground. Here they are about to dig for buried treasure. It was so nice to know at the end of a busy birthday party that the trip home would take 25 minutes instead of 1 1/2 hours.  Hopefully this will be one step towards maintaining our sanity after baby #3 arrives!

Christine,

So glad you took the plunge. You will be so happy with the car! We just purchased our 2nd car over the Christmas holidays. The 1st one bit the dust!

Blessings,

Amy
