Never say Never

I had always said that I would NEVER own a Mini Van....this was several years ago. But after having one kid and seeing the room a car seat takes up...it began to cross my mind. Then after visiting David's family when Jackson was 9 months and seeing the ease it made on a mom (his Gma has one) - I was hooked. Not to mention they get good gas mileage and they have improved in looks. It also crossed my mind- if anyone comes to visit and I have to pick them up from the airport- I have room for one person...hmmm that isn't going to work. My parents and David's parents usually travel in pairs!

So we took the plunge this week and bought a Honda Odyssey.....and we really love it. Although David wasn't here with me- he helped me through the whole process thank goodness! We have to take it back next Friday to get the towing package put on, so that we can move our trailer to KS in a few months. We ended up not getting the model with all the bells and whistles (we got the mid grade model), but are hoping to put in an Entertainment Package in the near future. Right now we have one that straps to the headrest for Jackson, so we will be good for a while!

So here is the newest member to our family (seriously they can be called that as much as vehicles cost these days) : Our 2009 Honda Odyssey!










Nothing says I'll be turning 30 and I have 2 kids like buying a Mini Van...guess we all have to grow up sometime!
