Off to PA

When we were on our way to PA we started having some car trouble. The Truck was being very sluggish especially when we were trying to get up a hill. We were approaching Wheeling and I knew there was no way we would make it back up the mountain after getting down in the valley. I started using the GPS to call around different places. It was 4 pm the day after Christmas. We finally were directed to a tire shop that was able to look at the truck and determine there was a problem with the air filter. When he opened it up it was soaked and there was a puddle of water. He said he had never seen this before. He dried it out the best he could and replaced the air filter and we made it the rest of the way to Lisa's families. The next morning the air filter still seemed damp so we took it to the Nissan dealer. We went to the mall. Grace wanted to know if it was the good mall. This to her meant it had a big slide. I had told her no it was the dinky mall. She wanted to ride on of the toys but when we found one she said she was afraid but she said she would get on with me. To passers by it was quite amusing. I don't think they realized I was trying to help a scared little girl. One of our Christmas presents was Steelers tickets to the last regular season game. We had a great time other than them saying we couldn't take backpacks in. So we shoved everything in Will's coat pockets and got our bag taken. We then broke the zipper on his pocket when trying to open it and the camera and GPS were in there. After much frustration. I figured out how to loop the key ring through the zipper and use that as a pull so we were able to get some photos.
