Ian's BirThDay...

I'm sure Ian is gonna remember his first birthday in San Diego; the car ran out of gas (we are trying to push the gas limit) while we are driving to a Hawaiian BBQ place for his birthday and a police car is right behind us!

The police officer approached our car and Caleb (innocently) opened the door wanted to get out of the car to see what can be done. The police officer was annoyed and slammed the car door back. The police officer later explained that is not a wise thing to do when a police officer is approaching the car, thinking a 'criminal' is trying to run or attack him (lesson learnt!).

With the police officer help (me steering and Ian & Caleb pushing) we pushed the car to the side (away from the junction). Thankfully we are close to the eating place, we decided to eat first (3 hungry people) and solve the car thing later.

After lunch, Ian bought a gas can plus a gallon of gas which is more than sufficient for us to drive the car to the nearest gas station.

What a drama but Happy Birthday Ian!
