Trip to Chris and Esdras'

Well we had a very interesting trip to Massachusetts yesterday. We got about 45 min from Chris and Esdres' when the car developed a bad shake in the front end. Cassandra pulled over to the breakdown lane from the far left lane on Rte 24, at least three lanes I think it was four. I got out to look at the drivers side tire Because I thought that was the offending tire but found nothing. Then I looked at the passenger tire and the picture shows what I found. Cassandra had just had the car at Red Hill Auto and they told her she needed some parts on the front end of the car but it would be OK until we got back from MA. I looked at the invoice she had and it said that two of the studs were missing on the right front tire! I must admit that I knew it had been missing one for a long time as is evident in the picture because the bottom right stud is all rusty but not two. So we called Chris and she came and used her AAA and we towed the car to a Jeep dealer to be fixed the next day. First thing this morning we called and then brought the car into the dealer(we had to drop it across the street from the dealer because it was locked up when we got the car there). They told us they would look at it directly and call to let us know when we could get it back. We then went to Esdres' Father's Funeral, which was the reason we went in the first place. We did end up with the car in the afternoon but we got a rather large bill(the lug nuts cost over 11$ each).
Esdras went to Honduras last year on the rotary trip that Cassandra usually goes on. He really enjoyed it and plans to do it again next year. He is showing Cassandra some of his pics from the trip.
Hope and Caleb are their two children. You can tell they are full of energy especially Caleb.
