“Open up that golden gate
California, Here I Come.”
Al Jolson
Well fellow bloggers, I’m headed up to Davis, California once again. Except this time, my son and I are traveling to Davis in our new 2016 Honda Accord.
A few weeks ago my husband and I bought a new car. Our old Honda Accord was on its last wheels, so to speak. After 13 years, and over 200,000 miles, it was time for a new car.
With the purchase of our new Honda, I was wondering how long it would take my son to invite me up to Davis again. Of course he will be doing all the driving in the new car which is fine by me. I’m looking forward to spending time with my son and the cooler weather and beautiful autumn colors of the town of Davis.

Beautiful car! I have an ’01 Accord with about 120K on it and an ’05 Highlander with over 200k. I’m very glad to hear you got over 200 out of your Accord, Julie! Was it an ’01?

Our old Honda Accord was an 2003. That’s low mileage for a 2001. Here in California your lucky if you drive less than 10,000 miles a month. We had so many miles because my husband commuted over 100 miles a day to work.

I work from home, which is why my mileage was low. Now my husband and I have swapped vehicles so hopefully we can stretch these cars out further. Enjoy your trip! A new Accord would be wonderful (but knocking wood, as I’d like to stay with no pmts). Glad you’re enjoying it.
