Monster van

Our minivan is going dowwwnnn. 

Every day it seems like something else is wrong with it. 

I'm kind of just holding my breath until it finally bites the dust.

And in the meantime I just so happened to find the coolest (or nerdiest) car ever.

Meet the Nissan NV.

Aaron and I have talked about what our next family car will be. 

Even though our minivan is pretty big it still feels pretty small with all of us (and our stuff) in it. 

Especially on road trips or even something like a trip to the beach.

Here's an example from a recent trip to Costco.

I'm pretty sure we will have to rent a trailer when we go to Yosemite this year just to hold everything.

The bottom line is 

6 people=a lot of stuff

Aaron really wanted a giant SUV but I love the kid friendliness of a van.

And then we found the perfect compromise. 

The Nissan NV can tow a ton and has lots of storage room for all of our outdoorsy adventuring

 but it also has heated seats and all the great mom conveniences. 

And the best part is it seats 12.

Twelve people! 

Now we can have at least a couple more kids :) 

 Or if you don't need to drive 12 people around you can take some seats out or move the seats around (there are 324 seating arrangements). 

So have you seen the Nissan NV?
