Day 13: Hauling

Filed under: Daily Travel Tally, Low Car Diet

Sunday was about getting things done. I had been wanting to buy a new couch for over a year, since I moved into my house. Luckily, being a Zipcar member gives me access to a pick-up truck. So, I reserved the truck from 2pm to 6pm on Sunday.

I didn’t get out of the house on time (surprise) so I ended up picking up the truck Downtown at 3. Luckily, that didn’t really impeded my ability to get all my errands done. I bought the couch, loaded it up, dropped it off at my house and had the truck back to Downtown at 6 on the nose.

The evening included a little trip by my favorite form of transportation (feet) to an amazing neighborhood spot (Grandview) eating an unusual snack (graham cracker ice cream).

Sunday’s tally:

Walked: 4 miles
Bussed: 1 trip
Carpooled: 2 trips
Drove: 25 Zipcar miles
