Daily Car Use - 6/18/08

These posts are going to be about what I use the car for (idea from The Simple Dollar). I would like to cut our house back down to only one car but not sure that is a good thing. To find out I will be posting about what I use the car for everyday; this should give me a good idea of if we can handle just one car again or not.

Today was a light day...we drove to the park.

We could have walked or taken the bus. If we would have walked it would have been 1 mile on a busy road to get there or 2 miles on back streets to get there. Making the trip either 2 miles or 4 miles total once we got home. Given that D is only 3 and can only handle about a 1 mile walk at a time I don't think we really could have walked there and still had a good day. If we had taken the bus it would have taken 20 mins, 2 buses and $2.75. That isn't as bad as I thought it would be.

Oh...as a added cool thing...take a look at Walk Score. My address only scored a 25/100...how sad!
