so, last week, we test drove vans. the VW people let us take one home for the day - wasn't that so nice of them? and after having it for a day, i'm afraid i've become a convert. it was SO nice not to be bending over to strap kids in (esp since my belly is the size of a giant globe now), SO nice to have doors open automatically, SO nice to have so much space inside!! i had no idea how cramped our little jetta felt until we drove the van. and the kids? they LOVE the van. they wanted to keep the van and couldn't understand why we had to return it. we also tested a Honda Odyssey over the weekend and i know it's the most popular van out there, but i love the way VW drives. and we are so hoping they'll come out with a tdi van. so, while we still don't own a van yet, it's definitely in the not too distant future (like, in the next couple of weeks?).
this is the VW Routan - it barely fits in our driveway!!

I never thought I'd say this... minivans are the bomb.
lol, i can SO relate to this post as it was the same experience i had before #3 came. we had a VW passat wagon that i loved and although practically i knew we needed a bigger car, i did not want to give up the vw. UNTIL we actually bought our odyssey and, like so many before, had to admit that we could never go back(well, until all children leave the nest). most likely, you will not regret it :)
