So MINI practice drives 🚙

I have been taking Molly out for some practice drives around the neighborhood in the MINI.

Well, actually, she’s been taking me. But I still get to pick the music.

She’s doing well with driving. We drive in the same area we used to practice riding bikes. It’s a nice, flat, low-traffic area.

Today’s session was followed-up by a drive through the Whatabrger for a milkshake because…had to.

She’s an official driver now!

Clairey got her official driver’s license today! 🥳🎉.

After all the driving classes, tests, practice, etc. the final hurdle was getting Claire an to the actual Texas DMV that had an opening to take her.

Claire’s mom “drove” most of the driver’s license process (so to speak). With all the Austin DMV locations booked way out, Kit literally drove Claire to Columbus on a Thanksgiving-week day off to finish this process.

And kudos to Claire’s grandma for doing the bulk of the driving practice.

Many thanks to them both and congrats to Claire! 👏
