Our New Wheels

After listening for a few days to me talk about a double stroller I reallllly wanted but wasn’t ready to pay for yet, Mimi offered to get it for us.  I was beyond excited and couldn’t wait for it to come in the mail.  It is great for both kids and was perfect for our walks to Target during our final weeks on Horseshoe Bend.  It proved to be very useful throughout our summer vacation.

A few shots of the babes (and furbaby) checking out their seats:



With the upcoming move on our mind we (Daddy really) decided that we should upgrade the Rav4 to a new van. After some research, we decided on the Honda Odyssey.   We took advantage of one of Colin’s final days in school to pop over to the dealership for a test drive.  We were pleased and Mommy was sold when she saw that it came in Hokie maroon, a good compromise color for both of us.  


On the day Daddy came home with the car, we let Colin stay up a little later than usual and he was so excited to “drive Daddy’s new car.”  Mommy quickly taught him that it was Mommy’s car that Daddy gets to drive sometimes.

One of the main reasons we wanted the van  was all of the additional space.  We were thrilled with how much we were able to fit in the van during our move north.  Not only that, we can now hold passangers!  In the Rav it was next to impossible to squeeze one additional person in between the two car seats.  Now we can comfortablely sit 4 additional people/car seats .  The first person to take full advantage of the extra space was Aunt Jen, who accompanied us on our drive to the beach.

And Mommy sat in the middle seat...

I think everyone is happy with the new ride!
