Drive-Thru Life

With two kids, I now realize the importance of "drive-thru" businesses.

Sure, there are some drive-thru options that I have always taken advantage of, for example, banking. No joke, when Bryan and I got married and opened a joint checking account, it was the first time I had been in a bank in YEARS. I hate going into the bank. With kids, drive-thru ATM is the only option.

But there are some new ones that I just don't think I could survive without- the first is Sonic (or really anywhere with sweat-tea!). When I am craving a caffeine boost, I love that I can drive through and get a sweet tea (the biggest one they have of course, so it lasts all day!) The second is Starbucks. Get out of the car with two kids to pay for my $4 latte? No thanks. Drive through for my $4 latte- I would do that 2 times a day!

Now if I could only find a drive thru Chipotle, dry cleaners (I know some places have these, none around us though!), liquor store (again, I know they are out there, but to find one around here you need to drive to the ghetto! And sometimes I need a bottle of wine!) and most importantly, a drive thru grocery store- it always happens that at 4:30 in the afternoon with a VERY cranky 2 year old that I will run out of Very Vanilla Soy milk (and of course he won't touch anything else with a 10 foot pole). With two kids I can't imagine having to run to the store at that time of the night. So Super Target, please listen up and put in a drive-thru lane. I will be a long time shopper if you do!
