secret rendezvous

Having 2 kids so young means we have 2 kids in carseats.  Having a 2-door pick-up truck means we're limited to one family car.  Kevin and I decided we'd have more options if we got rid of his truck and got a 7/8 passenger SUV or a minivan.  We tried selling the truck on Craigslist, but it turns out we were able to get more for the truck from a dealer than the one person who showed interest in our online ad.  We found this spiffy SUV at a local dealer and traded the truck in.  As far as space is concerned, this vehicle has been great.  Our favorite features are the A/C vents in the backseat (these kids sweat like crazy in their carseats), the tinted windows (Trent HATES the sun in his eyes), and the optional 3rd row seating in the back.  It's really been a great family car for us.  Of course it hasn't been all sunshine and roses; we've had the car for a month now and it's already been to the shop a few times (a couple of the seatbelts were broken, and we're currently having some mechanical issues) but hey, we are taking full advantage of the warranty, and the dealership gives us a loaner car whenever our car is there.
