Ahh, that new (well, used) car smell!

After a mostly pleasant 7-year relationship, we had to say a tearful goodbye to the Windstar today. ... And HELLO to a new Honda (well, NEW to us)!

We found a decent deal on a 2006 Honda CRV with low mileage so trekked up to Wausau today to test drive it and eventually take it home. Hubby says this is the first time he's bought two vehicles in a row by the same manufacturer. I don't think us girls pay attention to that sort of thing. I just know I like our Civic and have enjoyed riding in my sister and brother-in-law's CRVs (yes, plural).

It will be good to have two reliable vehicles with decent gas mileage. And this one might even last until Carter gets his temps ... but let's not think about that just yet!
