Today we went to look at minivans. Yup. That fated day when we finally bite the bullet and accept the fact that we won’t be a car family much longer. I’ve never been a fan of minivans–I would much rather have an SUV, however the cost difference is way to much for us to swallow. And besides, it’s just a vehicle, right? Who REALLY cares what it is, as long as we can actually travel as a family together from point A to point B. So, we test drove a few options today and now we have to crunch numbers and see what we can get for our car and figure out our budget and what not. It will be a bittersweet day saying goodbye to my faithful Ford Fusion. I have really loved that car. But it sounds like I’ll probably love our next vehicle as well–almost every person I’ve talked to that now has a minivan says they love it and wouldn’t go back. We’ll see if I’m singing the same tune soon! 🙂
On the road to a bigger family

We were able to fit our three in the back of Nathan’s Taurus when we needed to when Isaac was a baby :-). It was a bit crammed though.
I love the look of the SUV’s. They seem cooler to me, but the price held us back too. I can’t wait to see what you find 🙂
Count me in as one who loves the look of SUV’s too and when I was younger always swore I would never consider one, but then I was looking online the other day just for fun and saw that having a Minivan would mean that when someone parks you in on the side with the baby seat you can still get in! 🙂 Also, our friends have said it is really nice in the rain that you can get into the car to undo the seat belts etc. instead of standing outside getting soaked. Maybe someday we will join you in this quest!
