Cool Points...

lost!

Convenience points...gained!

We did it - we are the proud (yes, proud!) owners of a minivan!


After much research and discussion, we decided on the Chrysler Town & Country.


We are really happy with our purchase, as we should be, especially after spending almost 6 hours at the dealership yesterday.


We traded in Wally's Tucson which we have been having issues with since the beginning of the year. It died (and started back up) on us about 4 times on our way to the dealership. And wouldn't you know, as they were appraising it, it kept dying on them too. We sort of played it cool like we didn't know what was going on (we really don't know why it was doing it) and still got more than I expected from a dying car, but who knows what we could have gotten if it would have just started one more time on the lot - ugh!

So here we are with a fully-loaded van! We figured this van will be with our family for many, many years so we might as well get everything we want.


Look at all the room for my stroller and groceries, etc.


Where are the seats??? It's a stow-and-go. All of the seats fold down into the van so we don't have to take them out EVER! (Wally was in the house and I couldn't figure out how to put the headrests down - the back seats lay flat when done correctly!)


Headed to a tailgate? We have the perfect seats :) (Again the headrests need to be down)


Long road trip and need to occupy the kids? There are 3 DVD players in the van. They can even play different movies at the same time!


You have no idea (well except those of you with a minivan) how much easier this vehicle has just made my life :)


And those minivan-haters out there, you just wait until you ride in this vehicle, you will be hurrying out to buy your own...LOL!


I will post a picture once the car seats and kids are put in! That is if Luke will sit in his seat, he has been having too much fun climbing around inside of it and watching movies while Wally figures out how everything works so he can teach me!

This is where these 2 were most of the morning...
