Korean connection

My father-in-law has been working in Korea for the past few months and is leaving to visit the Phillipines and then head back to the states in the next couple of weeks. Here he is with with Korean work buddies. I noticed all the alcohol in front of him - Army of Dad is a chip off the old block.

I'm guessing you can tell which one is Army of Grandpa. ;)

Now, I'm doing my little Korean dance of love because Army of Dad went and signed away a large portion of his monthly take-home pay to buy me a lovely new Kia Sedona. I get to pick it up Wednesday. They are putting a fancy-schmancy DVD entertainment system in it for me. No more white trash version of vehicular entertainment. (that is my little tv/vcr combo that sits on a milk crate and attached to the passenger seat with a bungee cord, but hey, it works to keep the kids happy). Army of Dad calls it frugal. I agree, but it will be nice to have the DVD player. The kids are stoked and were disappointed that we're not getting it till Wednesday.

So, there is our Korean connection. We typically prefer to buy American, but this is a deal we can't beat and the markeplace is beckoning. I'm so excited.

    Excellent choice. I looked at getting an SUV, but most of the ones out there are too tall to fit in the husbear's garage.

    I've heard good things about the Sedona. Enjoy it; you deserve it! :)

    Thank you very much. I am very pleased with it. I was really apprehensive about the whole thing, but our dealer was great (as far as car dealers go- they're usually a bunch of shysters in my opinion).
