Trusty SUV

After we got the keys to our new apartment we needed at least a bed before we could sleep there. We called on some beds in The Giant Nickel and bought the first bed we looked at. The guy also had a couch and recliner chair we wanted. We got the king size mattress, box springs, couch, and chair all for $400. Transporting the stuff with our suv was quite the adventure. First we strapped the box springs and mattress on the top and put the chair in the back. Driving home was interesting because apparently the Tri-Cities gets a lot of wind. We tried the freeway but the car was jerked all over the road as the mattress & box springs threatened to take flight. After a bit of back road travel we got them home. The couch came home strapped to the top of the car as well. That was much more stable and the freeway was no problem. I have to say that I'm totally impressed with what we were able to haul on our Honda Passport.
