New purchase

I gave in....since I had to drive a van when I was 16, I always told Jeff I would NEVER buy a van. I hated driving one when I was younger. I loved the highlander. I loved how it drove. I loved that it was the first car we bought. But...it was sooo tight in the back for the kids. Jeff and I looked at cars forever. I thought for sure we were going to buy a Traverse, and then we went and test drove some cars for one of our date nights. We had the Traverse and a van right next to each other. There was soooo much more room in the van, and I just couldn't get over that fact. The whole point of the new car was for space..
We found one about an hour away with everything that we wanted. So a couple weekends ago, we drove down with all 3 kids to test drive thinking if we liked it and got a good deal we would buy it. They were probably scared when we pulled up with all 3 of our kids, but we did buy it :) The kids were waaaay better than I thought they would be, and it took only about 3 hours. 
The kids love the van. They love the sliding doors and the tv in it. I finally have some heated seats :) I can't believe I am driving a van now, but it is kind of nice with the 3 kids. I will miss my highlander though.
