Car... problems

So... last weekend I went to DC and had a great time. Well, when I left Sunday afternoon I wasn't very far before my volts light came back on and stayed on! eek... I stopped for gas just before the Bay Bridge and continued on my drive with the light still on. I had about 3 hours of driving left. I was scared I wasn't going to make it home but I did! Thankfully.
Well, come Monday we were suppose go on a trip to the Goddard Space Flight Center. Unfortunately it got cancelled due to paperwork not going through or something. So, I called a auto place to see if I could get my car looked at... thinking it was still going to make it a mear 20 minutes drive after just making a 4 1/2 hour drive.
Not my luck! Car wouldn't start so I had to call the automotive place back to get help. They sent a tow truck... and sure enough a jump wasn't enough. I had to have my car towed! :(
Luckly, the mechanic was there and was able to put in a new alternator right away for me... meaning it took almost 2 hours!!
The following day I went back and got my oil changed. My car is now ready to make the travel home. 28 days left!!!
Last minute decided to take a few pictures with my phone...
Read to go...
Driving I decided to take one last picture... the tow guy decided to smoke while I was riding with him. I wasn't a happy camper!! (I had previously told him I was pregnant... how rude!!!)
