Day 13 - Freeway Terror

OK. Maybe terror is an exaggeration but having my newly licensed daughter drive to the mall felt a bit like terror for me. I was white knuckling, sweating, holding onto that handle on the ceiling (not really sure why that is there but it is nice when you are in panic mode) feeling a bit out of control. She obtained her license on her 16th birthday, almost 1 1/2 months ago, but being we are rural suburban, freeway driving is not the norm so she wanted me to drive with her to one of her favorite malls with boyfriend in the backseat. Granted it was rush hour but we were going against traffic though it didn't always feel that way. There was so much traffic but we made it - yea!! The above picture was taken when we were off the freeway and close to the mall. There was no way I was taking a picture when we were on the freeway. Yikes

And here is another. I just like this one. My daughter is such a shopper - she lives for it and its something we aren't able to do quite as much. She got a winter coat at Hollister and was all smiles. A few goodies at Victoria Secret and we both made out like bandits at Maurices - so a happy outing for all (well, maybe not the boyfriend) in this sub zero temps.
