Married with Children........an Odyssey

Well, Aaron and I have finally resigned ourselves to the function and utility of a minivan. After much research and a decade of driving our Explorer, we have purchased a Honda Odyssey. It's actually perfect for our family - great safety features, lots of room, and has 15 cup holders (if we spent an extra 3K, we could have had 16!). The kids like the sliding doors, DVD player, and looking like every other car in their school parking lot.

We're not sure what we will do with the Explorer - after all, we used it to drive each of our children home from the hospital when they were born. It has also braved many a snowstorm in Tahoe and Utah, providing great memories of skiing and boarding. For now, Aaron is driving it, so we may sell his 1995 Accord. Any takers?

Looks nice. Remembering how the car seats fit in the other, you needed it. How many people does it seat? Can you get some pictures of the interior? Where do they put 15 drink holders?

Hey Mindy,

You're up nice and early! It fits up to 8 passengers, although we have it configured for 7. There are 8 cup holders in the front, 4 in the middle, and 3 in the rear - like we could come even close to using them. I will take some pics of the interior after I vacuum up the cheez-it crumbs - or you could go to honda.com, and see a great view.

yep, you picked the best color. your going to love that it doesn't show dirt...on the outside that is! sell the Honda? Honda's are the reliable cars.(I should know) Sell the Ford! You made the right choice with the mini van. It's much more practical than a SUV.
