A Vacation and a New Car

We headed down to visit family and had fun going to the zoo and then the NYS Fair. This is one of my favorite pics from the trip...he didn't know what to think. It was really busy but time with family was worth it.
The last month we started seriously looking for a new car. We knew our little Plymouth Breeze was not going to suffice with 2 kids and traveling. We did a lot of research on smaller SUVs and started looking all over. I became a fan of autotrader.com which was a huge help to see what dealers had in the areas we were going to be in. We received a call from a dealer near us that he had a 2006 Santa Fe with 25,000 miles on it within our budget. We went back and forth between it and another car but finally settled on this one. It has a great amount of space and is in really good condition. We are excited and thankful for God's provision...we prayed hard we would find a good deal on a quality car.

Looks like you all had a blast at the fair! Love your new car...we have already outgrown my SUV( Rav 4) and will be getting a van (sigh...:( But happy we will have the ROOM for our many road trips!) Can't wait to meet your little baby girl on the way! Hope you enjoy the space as long as you can. Brian and Courtney have the Sante Fe and love it!
