Girls weekend

We had our annual girls weekend to Chicago, and what a time we had! We decided that we would not be driving any of our cars this year, after the last few fiascos we encountered years previous. We looked into the thrifty car rental and the train.

We weighed all of the pros and cons of each, and while it would have been fun to drive in a fun car, the train won out in the long run. We enjoyed it, and loved that the last stop of the train was a block and a half from our hotel! Our weekend was amazing, can't wait until next year! We may be going to Ohio instead to celebrate one of the girls graduation college. We then may look into renting a car and going in style!

The last time I was in a rental car, was when we have our family trip to Florida. I just wish that when the car company promises you a certain vehicle that when you get to your destination and go pick up the car, you are surprised with the one you receive. The one we were expecting was a bigger car, and we were giving a much smaller one, that was a little difficult to fit all of our luggage in. Not to mention the return trip to the airport! it was great on gas, but being cramped in a tiny car with growing boys.

Will these make me think twice about renting another car, nope! If I can save the wear and tear on my own car on long car rides I will do it in a hear beat!
