I didn’t get to say goodbye, but I told Jim to tell the Pacifica that it wasn’t him, it was us (like, it’s not you, it’s me! LOL)! I have to say, I really dragged my feet about getting a minivan. There is such a stigma associated with minivans, I always wanted an SUV and I really liked our Pacifica…when we just had Finn. Having two car seats in the Pacifica and having other passengers just did not work. I slowly started realizing that a minivan was the vehicle that made the most sense. The funny thing is that Jim LIKES minivans…so it wasn’t hard convincing him (the funnier thing is that my YOUNGER sister really wants a minivan, too and she isn't even old yet!). We went with the Town & Country for many reasons, among them is that we like the Chrysler brand, you get a LOT for your money (almost everything comes standard) and it is supposed to be one of the safest ones (although now days, I’m sure they ALL are pretty safe). My favorite feature? The remote start, of course! The color was predetermined, as it usually is with used vehicles, but while I would never chose black, I think it will be fine and they were selling it below retail value, so we got a good deal and good financing (through our credit union). You can’t beat that! Plus, this way we didn’t have to spend money on the Pacifica fixing the motor mount or getting new tires!
Finn wasn’t too sure at first, but he LOVES being able to walk back behind his seat (when the car is stopped, of course!). And I love that he can go pick up whatever Korri happens to throw (like her shoes EVERY time we are in the car!). It has two DVD players with wireless headphones, which can have two different movies playing at the same time. I’m sure the kids will come to love them, but for now, we’d like to pretend they aren’t there (we sing and talk about our surroundings while in the car, which is invaluable family time).
