The Whale

We graduated!! Not from school (that would be awesome) but to the big daddy car. We truly feel like adults with this one. Now we're ready for baby #2!!

It all started when we got a flyer in the mail asking us to bring in our Santa Fe for a possible over value trade in. They were short on used Hyundai's and willing to pay a lot for them. We decided to just check it out. We had been talking about updating to a bigger car with another baby coming. We could have fit the other baby in our Hyundai but no one else could ride with us and it would have been tight. When we got there, we were immediately helped out by a really nice and eager guy. We took the Routan out for a spin and immediately fell in love with it. We never thought we would get a mini van but the features are so nice and kid friendly, that it is hard not to find value in them. We checked out what we could get for our Hyundai and were surprised to learn we could trade it in, get a HUGE discount on a brand new van (since it was the last day of the month and they were giving major deals) and get a better interest rate with a payment close to our Hyundai one. We got a 72 month warranty, completely free roadside assistance, towing and rental car all included in the deal. It was just too good to pass up. So, we went in with the intention of just looking and ended up bringing home a brand new car. Graham was thrilled to see the van and quickly nicknamed it "The Whale." We are loving our new car and are eager for our first road trip in this roomy beast. Now, we just have to get used to the fact that we drive a mini van...
