We went to Greensboro yesterday to go to the hunting show. As we are traveling there, we see our battery gauge is going down. We turn off the A/C and it goes back up. A bit later, it's going back down. We get off the exit and the gauge is down. Our battery is dead. All the other gauges are still working. We start looking for a parts store. Of course, it's Sun. and a lot of them are closed. We get caught by every red light. At one light, everything but our tach stops working. Two lights later, NOTHING is working. We thought if we could keep it running, we could find a part store. At one light, there is a gas station and I told L to pull in and keep it going, and I'll ask where a part store is. At that moment, our Expedition dies. L and I get out to push and Ashley climbs in to drive. All of a sudden, a lot of homeless people swarm us to help (it was nice, just spooky). We go in and call a cab for L~the girls and I stay at the gas station. The cab ride cost 11 dollars for a 4 mile trip!!!! So now we have a new alternator and a brand new battery~hopefully nothing else will go wrong with it. I'm just glad that Mark stayed with his paw paw. We were in a BAD part of town.
After all that, we went to the hunting show. It was cool. They always have a place for the kids to shoot bows and air guns.
