Sometimes on chaotic days when my house is extremely loud and my four children are making a lot of noise, I dream of driving long winding roads in the hills of Tennessee in a convertible with the top down.
Back in 1995 I bought a Mazda Miata. It was so much fun to drive that car! When I first got it, we lived in Tennessee. We moved to Colorado in 1997. It was beautiful driving with the scenic Colorado mountains in the background. I gave the car up in 2001, shortly after my 1st son was born.
When I occassionally see a Miata somewhere, I just smile and remember those wonderful drives.
My older sister, Jennifer, and I were all smiles after a nice drive in Nashville:
My college roommate, Kristi, and I were so cool cruising the streets of Powell, Tennessee:

Oh..very cute!!!!!! I love that color too!!
Great car and great roads to drive as well!
I lived just a couple miles from Clinton Hwy., so Powell was not far. When my children were small, we occasionally went to story time at the Powell branch of the library.
Fun memories!
I remember you letting ME drive that car up the winding roads in the mountains. That was a great day. Thanks for taking care of me then. :) And making Starbucks runs...that was a great car!

I think I have to go through one more used minivan before a fun car like that comes my way. Love the color-- spicy!!
How fun...I have always wanted a convertible! Dreaming of one is so much fun :)
I had a purple convertible Chrysler LeBaron that I loved! We lived in Asheville the first year we owned it. So much fun driving through the mountains with the top down. Makes me smile just thinking about it :)
Thanks for the flashback! Hope you have a great weekend!
You sure looked like you were having a lot of fun. BTW, loved the pictures of your kids on the earlier post. Precious!
I have told Matt that during my midlife crisis I want a convertible. It could be during his I don't care which one.
My first car was a very sporty and super fun to drive Ford Probe! I still wish I had that car, but have no idea where the 3 carseats would go LOL
How fun. Great looking car. Great memories.
