  1. When we wore my last van out, my children were all in their twenties and late teens. But I bought another van anyway! Especially van haters asked why!!?? It's not just a van! Going to the beach? It's the best beach-mobile. Need dirt and two cinder blocks? It's my little truck! Moving my adult kids from one run-down rental to another less run-down one? Moving van! Now my kids are all in the 20s and sometimes they need reliable wheels to take them to things like music festivals. Yep. I loan it to them. They call it the Festival Spaceship. Who knows? When we wear this one out, maybe I'll get another. In case of grandkids. :) Thanks for sharing your van story.

    1. Thank you, Pennie! And, yes, the van is the vehicle of all trades. We almost got a Ford Flex. My kids are STILL saying, "Aren't you glad we don't have to climb over those seats to the back?!"

  2. Love it! We went on so many road trips as kids, crammed into the back of my parents Buick. Would have loved a van!

  3. LOL That's awesome! Congrats on the new ride. I remember riding in the back of a pickup truck with a cap on it from Delaware to Florida. Oh my gosh, so glad those days are gone! No DVD's back then! Only cb's!

  4. Hi-larious! My four kids are grown and I just bought another minivan. Because awesomeness. It really is true that a minivan equals megafun. Easily the greatest parenting lifesaver since wine in a box. Ride on!

  5. We never had a van but I remember cramming into our LeMans for some long road trips.

  6. Awww, cute story. I agree that a minivan is the way to go if you have more than two kids (even one). It sounds divine. Nice to meet you, Kristi!
