With another child on the way and the need for additional passenger and cargo space, we finally decided to buy a mini-van. It’s a 2006 Mazda MPV, and we love it. It has lots of interior space, and drives and parks like a car which is exactly what we wanted.

An added bonus is that we bought it just before our long weekend trip to Kelowna. It was perfect timing as we had all our stuff plus Christina’s sister Amy. It normally would have made for a squishy trip, but instead we travelled in comfort.

Here is a picture of our new van.
