Alexis gets her first car
April 2002- Santa Barbara, California, USA
When Joe arrived in the US on an unexpected trip, amongst many other things he was given the assignment of purchasing a car for Alexis. After his initial "reaction" to finding a few extra holes in Alexis' ear (see top left photo below) he calmed down long enough to get the job done. A 2002 Honda Civic LX turned out to be the car of choice.
Dad kept picturing himself handing the keys over to a 5 year old Alexis and is seeking mental assistance to get over it...
Joe also went and watched Alexis in action at her part-time job at "Java Jones". He marvelled at her coffee concocting/public handling skills. A chip off the old block!

Alexis took her new car out for a spin with her first stop being Anaheim to meet Joe and JR for a meal and some shopping. Dad only called her 5 dozen times while she drove back and forth to check on her progress. She did great... Dad was a basket case he just kept mumbling "they grow up so fast..."! It was great to be able to spend time with both kids, separately and together, he had great reports for Mom on their children's progress.
