The Time has Come...

I needed a bigger car. The Altima was great but it was getting up there in miles and with two car seats in the back, there was NO extra room. We know we would like more children and decided that now was the time to upsize. Here it is...my new (to me) van! I have been back and forth for years now on my opinion of mini vans but ultimately we decided that it was the best fit for our family and our needs.
Top ten reasons we chose a van:
1. Seats 7 people comfortably.
2. Easy access to both car seats.
3. Tons of cargo space.
4. Better gas mileage than an SUV of similar size/capacity.
5. Low insurance & cheaper tires to replace than an SUV of similar size/capacity.
6. The price was right.
7. We really weren't that cool to begin with, so it wasn't really going to hurt us there!
8. Connor loves it and thinks it's his own personal jungle gym!
9. Avery can travel with us again!
10. There is room to seat more than just our family, such as friends or grandparents.
