The trip that never was

Ken's cousin invited us for a family picnic at her home in Delaware this weekend.  Friday night I made a yummy dessert to bring along.  Saturday we got stuff packed up so we could leisurly get out the door this morning.  All seemed right on target until we got to Chester.  The car made a loud beep and very large red letters appeared on the dash  S T O P , and then oil pressure- see manual.
So we got to a Pep Boys in Brookhaven, PA ('round Chester/Widener University).  They said they couldn't help us because the oil pump etc in a VW is complicated and has to be handled at a dealership... not open on Sundays.  So Chase is at the VW dealership in Newtown Square tonight.  Our brother-in-law, Chris, made the trip from Trevose to rescue us and bring us home.
We're very bummed that we missed the picnic and seeing all the little ones and families together.  Hopefully we'll get to try again soon.
