Got Keys?

It's not always fun and games! Last week while visiting Biltmore Estate on the very first night of our trip to Asheville, we had a major snafu! Somewhere between here (snow covered parking lot)

and here (Deerpark Restaurant)

we lost our car keys.

And by we, I mean my husband (sorry Brett but I need to blame someone)! He had them in his hand when we got out of the car and placed them on the table in the restaurant, but they were never to be recovered again. Three hours of searching in the restaurant and snow proved no success. And FYI, when you drive a car with this "intelligent key" as they call it, don't expect a quick and easy solution . Especially when you are traveling with 4 kiddos and all luggage and diapers are locked in the car. Unable to have a locksmith make a new key, we had to have our Infiniti car towed THE NEXT MORNING to its sister Nissan dealership and a new key made that would sometimes crank and sometimes not crank our poor car. Upon my return home, I ordered 2 new keys - for the low, low price of $300, and am hoping that we do not run into this problem again. Because let me tell you guys, it is a huge hassle!~
