My husband has been trying to get me to drive a minivan for years, and for years I have been resistant. I truly tried to understand why I needed such a big vehicle when I only have two kids. Recently, my oldest son started t-ball and I realized my time had come. I found myself squeezing all his baseball gear into the back of my SUV while battling my backseat to fit a third booster seat to be able to carpool with his friend. My final ah-hah moment came at Target, when I found myself with this dilemma.
I had so much kid gear in my car -- all of which I use on a daily basis and didn't want to remove -- that I could not fit my groceries in. I immediately called my husband and said...it's time. My time has come.
I did it. I took the plunge into becoming a 'minivan mom.' I had to laugh at my older sister, who became a minivan mom a few years ago, when she said, "Ten years ago, if you would have told me I'd be living in the suburbs driving a minivan I would have laughed at you." We both commented on how convenient the Chrysler Town and Country is, and that we are happy we took the plunge into the minivan.
I have had my Town and Country for just 3 days and I will admit that I love it. As I was moving all my belongings into the Town and Country, I was appalled at all the space and storage! I am now left wondering why I was so resistant all those years.
I will keep you updated on my minivan adventures and what I think of the car. Do you love your minivan? Tell me about your plunge into your minivan.
