Guess what we got!


It's a Certified pre-owned 2007 Honda Odyssey Touring in the light blue color. We looked at the Toyota Highlander and the Honda Pilot also, but after driving my mom's '05 Odyssey and my sister's '06 Odyssey, we knew this was the car we wanted. (Even though we didn't want to seem like we were copying...)

Bryan gets huge kudos for staying on top of Cars websites and tracking down not one, but two pre-owned Odyssey's with all the features we wanted, within our price range. The first one we were going to pick up from a dealer in Corpus Christi, but they called while Bryan & Dad were headed down and told them the dealer sold it to someone else the night before. Bryan found the same model, etc. vehicle at a dealer a little closer to home (an hour vs. 4 hours drive) and got the same price, same deal, same interest, etc. We didn't get to pick the color, but after seeing it and driving it, I'm really pleased with it. It's a soft blue, not bright or garish. And it will easily distinguish OUR Odyssey from the others in the family (white and silver).

We've told the girls that we hope to use this minivan to take some road trips! Oklahoma. Nashville/Memphis (to meet some friends), and the girls both want to go to Washington D.C.
To be fair, they want to go because I told them it would take two days and we would "picnic" in the car - eat prepacked lunches vs. stopping at Sonic every four hours.

So wave if you see us on the road!

Love the new car but of course I'm biased as it looks just like mine:) It is a great road trip car. Maybe we'll pass each other on the road sometime.

What do you mean "to be fair"? The lunches have nothing to do with it - they just want to come see us!! :) Enjoy your new car and we'll be on the lookout for you crusing into our town!!

I think the perfect road trip would be on the CA to see us. ;-)

That was supposed to say "one to CA". I don't know what happened there.

No, no, the perfect road trip would be to North Carolina. ;)

Great looking car!
