And that's the way we became the Brady Bunch

I had this once before and couldn't wait to get rid of it (sort of like a bad case of.....well, never mind).....and now with 3 children, 2 dogs, sports gear, strollers, etc - it somehow found it's way back to our driveway......THE MINIVAN!!!!

It gives us the space we need to travel in comfort, the older two get their own seats and the dogs even have a spot.....but it's still a minivan. I have to admit, it does have some nice amenities and when we took it out for it's inaugural spin around town, even throwing in a stop for ice cream, everyone seemed happy and comfortable.

So, I sacrifice for the comfort of my family.....and continue to dream of the day - in 18 years - when I can walk into a dealership and say "sports car please - convertible and red!"
