Leaving the mini van in the garage

This past fall, my husband did what any couple expecting their third child would do - we bought a mini van. According to their awesome You Tube Video, I should have pride in my Sienna ride.

I don't.

Yeah, yeah. I know, it's now cool to be a parent. (That's a marketing trick by companies who want us to spend copious amounts of money on our kids.) I know that our Sienna has the same tight turning radius as our Camry. But...

 A van is not the same as a car.


And today, I got to leave the van at home and take the car. Whee!

I didn't have to put the Mommy mirror up. The doors didn't slide open at the push of a button. And, I had to remove my hands from the steering wheel in order to change the radio station. Ahh... sweet freedom.

Don't get me wrong, I like the insane creature comforts. I like the cargo space. But really, nothing hugs the road quite like a car.

I really miss the go-cart like ride of the Corolla... but that's another story.
