The Family Minivan

We live in Hawaii, on O'ahu specifically. We have some unique issues especially with parking. When you have a baby in a infant carrier and you drive a regular 4 door vehicle sedan style you have to be able to open the car door all the way open to get that carrier out of the car. In a Hawaiian parking lot that is virtually impossible. Most spots are soo narrow that you have a hard time getting out yourself let alone getting the baby seat out. Now that I have a 5 year old, who has accidentally put door marks in many cars getting herself out of the car, and another infant our old Ford Focus wagon just wasn't cutting it anymore. The upgrade time had come. It's only new to me, and doesn't have all the bells and whistles but its an amazing antistresstimine in my life. I can now haul around the extra kids I need to regularly, and get the baby out without turning into a pretzel. The gas expense I'm not so fond of, but the positives far outweigh that negative.
