Now Introducing to our Family.....

So we have a new addition to our family. Tonight Barrie and I bought a 2005 Toyota Sienna LE. We are super excited and majorly depressed. Our beloved 1997 Honda Civic was having transmission problems. It would be thousands of dollars to rebuid and put a new trans in. So we thought we would start shopping around. We wanted something that was roomie for potentially maybe more little Campbells (definitely non in the near future.... Cate is enough for now.) We also wanted the space so when family was in town, they could have a seat, be comfortable and not have to rent a car to get around. We looked at Used Honda Odesseys (super nice). Did research on Dodge Caravans - not too fond of. And more research on Toyota Siennas (sorry Amy and Ben for copying you). The ride is sp unbelievably smooth. The space is rediculous. Curtain side air bags all the way to the back. All wheel drive. Only 30,000 miles on it. We can now go to the zoo and put Cate's wagon in there instead of the stroller. I will post some pics as soon as I take some. The depressing part in all of this is we now have a car payment to make each month, where the beloved Honda was totally paid off. Bummer.
