Time to Upgrade

The good ole Camry just wasn't going to work out much longer. It is still a wonderful car with no mechanical issues (in case you know someone who might be interested), but was lacking a lot of features we want with two kiddos. Lots of little things like tinted windows, rear air conditiong (a necessity for our little August baby and hot natured 2 year old), room for hauling others, and keyless entry. In other words, it was time for the SUV/Mommy mobile. I told Jason I couldn't bring myself to drive a mini-van before I turned 30.

After test driving just about every full size SUV on the market over the span of multiple weekends, we decided on the Honda Pilot (thank you Katy Bonds for the insight), which of course was the last vehicle we looked at. We looked at so many cars that Ainslee started recognizing car dealerships when we drove by them...she even saw a commercial for one and said, "I need to go there!" Jason researched, negotiated, and called every Honda dealership in Texas (only a slight exaggeration, but I did seriously have to rule out California and Wisconsin) and found an incredible deal right here in San Antonio on a brand new 2011 with lots of "bells and whistles". So, last night we spent 4 LONG hours with our lovely toddler at the dealership and drove home with this beauty:




The first thing Ainslee said when we drove off the lot was, "Baby sister like this car?" Yes Ainslee, I hope she will! :)
