So today to celebrate our 9th wedding anniversary, the wife and I bought me a minivan. The transformation is complete, I'm Mr. Mom! On the plus side, lots of room for those long caching roadtrips.

Congratulations on 9 years. That speaks highly to your dedication and committment.
As for the minivan - we have one too and although they aren't the "coolest" vehicle they are "utility rich". One thing we liked is that with 2 kids it's easy to let them each invite a friend along and travel easily with 6 of us in the vehicle plus all the kid's "essentials" (i.e. stuffed animals, pillows, books, etc.) |

Congrats on nine years. I know we only met briefly on Saturday, but my wife talked about how impressed she was of you caring for your children. I hated getting the mini-van, but I love that car now.
Congrats again. |

Happy anniversary to kungfu and mrs. hippie! And don't worry about that Mr. Mom tag from the minivan. It's a dead giveaway when your geomonkeys have almost as many finds as you do!  |

Woot. Congratulations on 9 years. Too bad on the van though.....When I had a van, it was nice for the kids, but what a change from a Mustang.

Congrats from me too.
nice to meet you at the picnic, wish time would have allowed a bit more to chat.
Mini-van is fine, its when you can't get by without having at least a 7 passenger van and having space in the back!
Like Zuma, it's a big change from the 2 passenger Pickup or a little hatchback. |

Thanks everyone, we've already fallen in love with the van!
Hope to see you all soon either out on the trail or at the next event we make it to. |
