I almost cried the day we sold our RAV4. The fact my eyes teared is huge. I don't like crying. But as I signed the title & watched that beautiful blue car drive away, I couldn't help but get sentimental. I brought my 2 babies home from the hospital in that car. There was a time when I never thought I would be able to bring a child of mine home from the hospital. When we were able to do that with Danny I thought I was the luckiest, happiest person in the whole world. Little did I know I would receive that blessing again only 9.5 months later.
Well, I guess if I had known that, we would have bought a mini van back in '08. Maybe. The RAV4 is a great car & Linda is a very nice person. I know she will treat my blue beauty well.
The next day we decided to look at a certain Sienna on our way to Manitou Springs. It was exactly what we were looking for with a few extra perks & the dealership made the negotiating very easy. Dan & I didn't even have to play our good cop, bad cop routine like we did when we bought the Passat & the RAV (at different dealerships). I guess it was partially due to the fact we didn't have a trade-in this time.Kaelah is absolutely in loooove with the mini van. She asks to ride in it every day, sometimes multiple times a day. She also asks to drive to Utah in it frequently too. And it was one of 2 colors she told us she wanted: white like Aunt Shelley's.
Dan & I like it enough that we'll be driving to join his older brother & his 2 little sisters in San Diego this August. Half way across the continent with 3 children 3 & under. Either we're nuts, or it is a really great recommendation of the new Siennas. You can be the judge.
