We Got a New Car

Our van was having some issues and seeming like it was going to be needing some major work soon, so we decided it was best to get a different vehicle. Since we would like to be able to tow things in the future, we went away from a minivan and looked at Ford Flexes. Also, every minivan we've had has had issues with the passenger side slider door, leaving us with only 1 door for the kids to use. We ended up with a 2010 Ford Flex with seating for 6 and a DVD player. Some Flexes have seating for 7, but then the middle seat has to fold forward to access the back row of seats and as we only need 6 seats, we thought it would be easier overall to go with the captain's chairs for the middle row. We bought it on Tuesday, but didn't bring it home as we'd forgotten the plate and they were going to fix a few things for us. We went back the next day to get it and then left for Spring Break on Friday. It is nice to have regular doors for the ease of opening and closing for the kids, but I do miss being able to push the slider door button on the key fob and having the door open when I have my hands full.
