Driving a minivan at the age of 29!

We finally caved and bought our first minivan—a Honda Odyssey and it ROCKS! I shouldn’t even say that we caved, because we were actually pretty excited about this purchase and not at all hesitant. I must say that for those who make fun of vans, they obviously have never driven one! Our new car rides better than any other car we have ever owned and it’s so spacious! We had a Honda Pilot previously, so we were used to having the luxury of room, but the van has even more space and it’s perfect for our family. I am very excited for the automatic doors because they will come in handy during daycare pick-ups and drop-offs. It may sound lazy, but if you have never been responsible for picking up 2 kids plus all of the stuff they accumulate in one day (lunch boxes, backpacks, extra clothes, art projects , etc, etc, etc) then you really can’t judge me! I am not the only one in love with our new van. My husband likes it so much that he said when we get rid of our other car in February we should replace it with another Odyssey. Although, I don’t think we really have a need for two vans, at least not at this stage in our lives! So I have officially hopped on the van bandwagon and as someone recently said to me "once you go van, you never go back!" I never thought I'd be driving a van before the age of 30--I'm officially a bonafide grown up! Here's a picture of our new car in the color we chose.
