Van-Driving Veulemans

Yes, that's right! We now are the proud owners of a 2007 Honda Odyssey Minivan. Cory and I are not like most young couples. We do not cringe at the idea of becoming minivan people. We have actually been anxious for this day. I guess it's because we like practicality. We take a lot of long trips. Our family is growing. There is no better vehicle for those purposes.

We had casually looked at minivans, specifically Hondas, for the last couple of months. We had never gotten real serious about it. But yesterday, as I was waiting for Cory to get home, a Dark Cherry Pearl minivan drove into our driveway. To my surprise, it was Cory. I assumed he was test-driving it. But as I walked outside, he handed me the key and said, "You want to take your new van for a drive? Merry Christmas." I was shocked and excited. He had been at the dealership haggling for three hours.

Landry liked it too. I took her outside to get inside. She was amazed at how big it was, and didn't want to leave. She thought it was a new place for her to play. I haven't taken pictures of it yet, and right now it is too dark and cold for pictures. So here is a picture I got offline of a van that looks almost identical.
Stow and go seating......nice for trips home!

I'm with you, Amber- give me a minivan any day. I get the doors open on their own don't they? I'm so excited for you!!

Actually, we didn't get the souped up model. So the doors don't open on their own. We were mainly concerned with getting a Honda, and one that had captain's chairs rather than only bucket seats. The price was right on this one, so Cory went for it.
