We are the new owners of a spiffy van!

The van we got in 2009 was getting towards the end of it's life span.  We decided that we should probably be getting a new van before we ended up stranded somewhere.  Since we had time and weren't in a rush we had been keeping an eye out on the prices of newer, low mileage minivans for a couple of months.  Andrew came across a great price on a 2011 Chrysler Town and Country in late September.  Andrew went down to Saukville with Nathan one Tuesday night while Mads & I were at her school book fair.  They brought the van home and I was able to test drive it.  The price was right and they were offering a decent price for our old van, so we drove back on Wednesday the 26th to sign the paperwork.

Since we signed over the title on our old T&C and they had some work to finish on the new T&C we were sent home with a loaner Mercury Mountaineer.  Yuck.  I would never buy one of those!

The kids each gave the gold T&C a good-bye hug.  Mads went on her first long distance road trip (to Myrtle Beach) in the old van.

 Nathan was brought home from the hospital in the old T&C.

BIG SQUEEZE!  Thanks for the memories 2003 Gold Chrysler Town & Country.

The work was finished up on our new T&C while I was in Mexico.  Andrew the kids returned the Mountaineer and came home with our new 2011 Silver Chrysler Town & Country.  We now have Stow & Go seats, power doors, power lift gate, roll down middle windows and some pretty sweet MPG compared to the old van!

Say hello to the new van!




Pretty spiffy!  :)
