Car Shopping

We took the kids to look at a few minivans today.

There will be no pictures of the adventure because I don't like to take pictures of them throwing fits and whining.

On the up side of the whole thing I learned that my not so much like of the Toyota Sienna was backed up by the test drive ride in the back seat, the Kia Sedona was much more comfortable and powerful than I expected, and the Honda was as nice as I expected. I like it when my expectations match reality.

An interesting bit of trivia to go along with the rest is that this is the first time I've gone car shopping and not bought a car on the first shopping trip. I feel so adult.

Plus, in the occasional moments of non-whining the kids all seemed to really like the vans, even though they all said they didn't want one when we started.

There are certainly some awesome things about mini-vans, mostly the captains chairs thing. I hope you find what you want!

Have you seen the commercials for the "Swagger Wagon" - hilarious! I almost want a Sienna for that reason, almost ;-
