Christmas Eve - Got the Car

We got the car today, a GMC Yukon (see pics below). Should be plenty of room for my mom and I and the two dogs. Perhaps the rent-a-car guy was giving me a line of crap, but he said this Yukon was the nicest Yukon they had in the Southern California fleet. Not sure how true that is, but it is decked out with leather seats, wood trim, automatic everything, reverse sensors, XM Radio, dual climate control, etc. My favorite is that you can start the car and get it heated with the key remote; a very useful feature considering some of the cities we're visiting are getting single digit weather (Kansas City was 6 degrees on Tuesday).


We do have luggage, snacks, sleeping bags, dog food and a bunch of other stuff, but we took out the third row of seats so it's still spacious.
