You better Believe it!

Yes, it's true....The Alsop's now own a MINI VAN!
Yes, it's true....we are heading to Florida AGAIN!
Yes, it's true....we are actually going to drive there as a family!
Ok, brother's, brother in-law, certain friends, etc. give me all the heck you want over the dreaded mini van purchase. They are just too practical to pass up and even Sky is raving about it. (wow, scary) My Jetta from college is on its last leg. It has been good to us but it is time to say good-bye. How times change. I'm now driving around a mini van with my two girls in the back seat just loving my automatic doors and enjoying watching them climb in on there own. We purchased a Toyota Sienna just a couple days ago and are loading it up and heading to Florida. You all know how terrible my girls are in the car and we are actually going to attempt a 17 hour drive together. All I need to do is just battle it out and will be welcomed by paradise as we get away from this absolutely freezing weather. Tomorrow it is onlygoing to be about 15 degrees but on Saturday I should experience 70 degrees. Ky, has been asking non-stop to go to Florida where it's warm and no coats are needed. We've trained her well or should I say spoiled her well. Skylar pulled off another rotation in Florida...man I love the perks of the PATHOLOGY Residency. Chat with you all in a few weeks if I make it through the drive. Don't worry I'm flying home with the girls.

I'm so jealous, well of you going to Florida that is; it's only 9 degrees here today. Miss you. Have fun.

Have fun in Florida! That is so cool that you get to go down south for the winter. Usually that is what retired people do:) You guys are pretty lucky. I can't wait to see pictures.

It seems like people are more excited about Florida than the van- but I am EXCITED ABOUT THE VAN!! never thought Sky would do it- but I am so proud of him :) I also feel pretty luck that I get to enjoy the van and Florida with you and we can't wait!!

PS- is this the one from Jersey? it's a beauty!

Congratulations...now you can fully embrace motherhood. It won't be long and the Croshaw's will probably be cruising in one also!

Laura said...

I can't believe it. You did it! Congrats on making the big leap and purchasing the vehicle. I hope you embrace and enjoy it. Don't mind Taylor if he doesn't get in it with you. It has nothing to do with the people!

Welcome to the club! I love my mini van. I am so jealous of you going to florida. We are having a very cold snowy winter here in Columbus. It is fun seeing all your fun Hershey stuff. I love all the things they have there in that little town. There is no place like hershey. Your girls are sure growing up. It sounds like you really had a wonderful Christmas.

Who was it that making fun of Dave wearing sunglasses, talking on cell phone (acting cool) but driving a minivan - yep, it was Cheryl. Can't wait to see you trying to act normal like your pre-minivan self and tease you too!
