I sure am going to miss that little pink moped.
Thursday was a sad day. As I followed Eric down to a nearby shopping center to complete the sale of our good friend, Barbie, I reflected on all of the good (and some terrifying) times we had because of that shiny moped.
Watching Eric weave in and out of the typical traffic that always includes a slew of monster-sized trucks, I laugh and shutter at the same time, thinking about holding Eric for dear life as we hugged the white line, exploring and traveling as far and as fast as that scooter would take us.
She was there from the beginning and letting her go, 1,842 miles and a bit faded later, is pretty much the beginning of the end. We are now on the last leg of the trip where we stop counting the days spent and start counting down to the day we leave. Here's to our first goodbye...

Awww this is so sad! Barbie was a good soul, she certainly was a unique one :), someday you'll get another Barbie of your own :). You'll make new memories. Good luck and best wishes!!! Have great times on your next adventure!
