New Car! Proud Van Owner

I'm excited to share that on New Years Eve we became proud owners of a 2013 Honda Odyssey!

We splurged and got the top off the line/fully loaded model. Matt decided if we were going with a van we better just go all the way!

The main selling features for us were:

• Blind spot sensors... LOVE
• Back up sensors and camera
• Great navigation and sound system
• Large center console... The Quest had a HORRIBLE console and was immediately out of the running in my mind because of that simple fact
• Ultra wide rear DVD player which can display two movies (thought that this would be good as we have a large age difference with our children)

• "High Intensity Discharge" headlights... SUPER powerful!
• The ability to carry 4'x8' sheets of plywood inside the vehicle (with back seats adjusted)

• Cooler built into the front. Like this feature for bottles, water bottles, and snacks. Will be useful for days when we have soccer or travel.
• I love the automatic open/close doors... this is a standard feature on vans but a new one for me. It makes it SOOO much easier to get Hunter's car seat in and out
• More leg room in the second row. Also a huge one for me as I am often sitting back there in a parking lot feeding Hunter.

Also, my cutie hubby added a few after market items that I'm enjoying... the most notable is the remote start!!! This allows me to start my car 10 minutes before departing each morning (at 5:50 a.m. when it is FREEZING) and it gets my car all toasty!!!

With the new car comes a resolution to KEEP IT CLEAN and ORGANIZED! In the past my vehicles have been a dumping ground. This weekend I plan to work on some little projects for car organization and I will share once they are complete.
