Strollerless...

Coronado is so small that we have access to everything on foot.  I can run errands to the grocery store, post office, bank, and cleaners all in less than an hour with the kids in the stroller.  This includes a stop at Starbucks to grab a coffee for me and a vanilla milk for Reece.  We always top off the trip with some time at the park before heading home.  It makes for a great morning as we are all happy to be outside, and I get all of my errands accomplished.  We also stroll to the doctor, dentist, library, restaurants, other local parks, friends' houses, and the Ferry Landing to watch the boats and helicopters.

All that walking wore our stroller tires to the tread!  We ordered new tires and before we could change them, the tread wore through to one of the tubes and it popped.  Bummer for us!  We have been stroller-less for over a week now waiting for the new tubes to arrive.

Running errands in the car has NOT been fun as Reece and Elle are not happy with being placed in their car seats over and over again.  Yesterday, I even strategically planned our trip to the bank so that Reece's lollipop (he always gets one there) would get us home smoothly... even though it was only 9am!

Thankfully the new tires are to arrive today... my fingers are crossed!
