No it's not a quarter year life crisis, no I don't think we're crazy, no we don't live in Europe, but YES we did buy our own little motorino! Can we just say, "When in...{New York City}?"
With a little help from our scooter-riding friends in our ward, nice deals at the Vespa dealership {thank you, Leonard} and some logical reasoning {believe it or not there was some rationale to this purchase - i.e now we have a way to get out of crazy NYC in any event} we purchased a midnight blue Vespa LX150 and are loving every minute of it!!
- 25 minutes to get from Broadway and 107th to Prince and Mercer {for our out of state friends: from the top of Manhattan to the bottom}
- no stinky, smelly, dirty subway
- we get to see so many parts of the city that were lost as we traveled underground
- PARKING...anywhere!!
- playing chicken with taxis and giving high fives to people hailing a taxi {not really, but I want to}
- more time to hug Jonathan
- 10 minutes to church
- winks from male passersby {"You know, chicks, motorcycle..."}
