Packing the Prius

The closest IKEA to us now is a 2.5-3 hour drive. Boo. I needed a few things for the house, namely, a new slipcover for our IKEA couch and chair so I knew I'd have to make the trip at some point. Yesterday seemed like a good idea because if all things go right, I might start a new job on Thursday!

My friend Marcy, baby Isabel and myself loaded up the car and headed to northern Virginia. We left at 6:30 am to avoid the traffic in the tunnel and we timed it right to arrive right when they opened and left right when Isabel was getting sleepy! Shopping with babies is so much more difficult, btw.

 

Marcy wasn't convinced that everything would fit in the car, but I had faith in my little hybrid. We fit rugs, shelves, lamps and all sorts of goodies in the Prius and still left room for Isabel although she was packed in as tightly as my Ektorp and Karlstad boxes.

I think my worries that a future jogging stroller would fit in the Prius were unnecessary. This little car is ready for another road trip!

My new car!

My sugar daddy bought me a new (to me) car today! A 2010 Toyota Prius. A little piece of Japan just for me.

I love it! Now I just need to think of a name for her... Any suggestions?

Oh and yes, I am still learning how to park from the left side of the car (again), clearly.
