We have a MINIVAN!

So after yesterday's waste of a day in NY Jerry comes straight home and starts looking for vans at Car max. I am comatose on the couch and intermittently he would say look at this one and try to show me all 38 photos. Finally I told him I was going to bed and we would look tomorrow. Bringing us to today. He found one he thought he had to have. So he calls first thing this morning to see about having it shipped up from North Carolina. Well it was already gone. Again devastation for Jerry. So all day he was on the web looking. Well around 4 pm a new black Honda Odyssey pops up on the Car max website and it's in Hartford. He immediately calls and they tell him it's on the way to the East Haven lot, as a matter of fact it's sitting on the truck. Somehow Jerry gets them to agree to take it off the truck and we set up an appointment for 6 pm. When we get there and ask for Mike, the response is Black Honda Odyssey and a laugh. Apparently it took over an hour to get it off the truck and even more time to fix all the paperwork. The van belonged to the East Haven lot so there were issues in every department once we decided we wanted it, which wasn't long. Jerry took it for a drive and loved it! I even drove it, only in the parking lot though. And no, not the one with all the cars in it! So we finally did it!!!
We bought a minivan. Traveling back and forth to Atlanta in small cars was becoming unbearable. The bigger the girls get the bigger their stuff gets and there was just not enough room. After enduring 16 hours this past Christmas with no room for my feet I vowed we would never make the trip again without a van. With our summer trip fast approaching we were running out of time. Car max was great to us. They sold us a great van in pristine condition and gave us 8500.00 for Jerry's red KIA. The only annoying thing to happen was the salesman ripping one while getting out of the car. And Jerry thought it was hilarious!! It must be a guy thing. It was by far the easiest car purchase I have ever been a part of. And heaven knows I have a lot of experience buying cars :) Thank you Brenna for staying with the girls. It made the experience even easier!!
