WHAT AM I TALKING ABOUT?!!?
I am actually getting excited about owning one of those mom mobiles that I claimed for years that I would NEVER drive. A minivan like my mom drove and I had as my super embarrassing car to borrow in high school. And we are on the road to buying one. We are in the market anyway and hope to have one before our road trip to Colorado this summer for a week of camping (the gear would be definitely be a tight fit in my Escape).
What does it take, though, to find something that is affordable, reliable, remotely cool looking, with low mileage and not being sold by someone trying to scam you (I have actually had two people try to get me to send them money in the UK this week on Craigs List)? My first choice at this point is a Honda Odyssey, but it is hard to find one that meets all of our requirements and that we can afford.
There I said it. I want a minivan. We will actually be able to fit our third child if and when we have one, and the visiting grandparents, and sometimes the roommate, too.
Any shred of coolness that I was gripping onto for dear life is now flying out the window of my SUV. Yes, a minivan...what a nice, practical ride!

You know, I said that I would never own one, either. However, we broke down when we saw all of the options that we could get cheaper than an SUV (not to mention the gas savings when comparing it to a larger SUV)....
I love it, though. If I need to, I can put the kids in the very back! It's great....
I really like Becky's Odessey...if I were to do it over, I think that I'd go for that one, too...but the Town and Country isn't that bad, either!
Did I just see a pig fly by outside the window? LOL
Hope you can find a suitable minivan soon - they are so wonderful for toting around two kiddos. I have to put a good word on the Toyota Sienna...I LOVE mine!!!
Hey I'm really bummed that I missed wishing you a Happy Birthday! So Happy belated Birthday!. I heard you have a new ride? Pretty flippin' sweet. When are you going to post pictures of the beaut?
