The transition is now complete--we sold the BMW and the Honda Odyssey arrived Wednesday. Pat and I were both sad to see the car go and know that we are definately losing style points, but the minivan is AWESOME! Since we generally take Gus, Max, giant Euro-sized stroller and all the other "necessary" stuff, it is perfect. The minivan offers more space than even we know what to do with now. Pat has already named it--the BAV or Bryan Assault Vehicle. We took the BAV out for it's maiden voyage on Wednesday after we picked it up. Pat had a client testifying at a court-martial in Vilseck (about an hour and a half away) so we all loaded up to test out the new vehicle. I can honestly say it was fabulous, so I am now officially a dork. However, our trips will now be so much more comfortable for us all.
Here are a few pictures from the first trip. Gus sits up quite a bit higher in these seats than before so he was enjoying more of the view.
Max loves the minivan--so much space and he doesn't have to be crammed in next to Gus--has his own bench in the back.
Gus and I both like the DVD player. Here is Gus enjoying Ratatouille on the way to Vilseck.

Don't worry, I'm sure we'll be joining you soon. Our SUV is only a year old, but I'm already thinking that a mini-van would be so much easier!!! This is one of those "nevers" that I should not have muttered!!! ;-)
Max has his own bench?? what a lucky dog...!
Becky - It's okay! The van is awesome! I'm still trying to shove Noah into my TWO door civic. Wish me luck!
PS I've been reading your blog for a long time now, since way before I started posting. I didn't post since I didn't have a user name. But Gus is beautiful, and I love reading about all your family's experiences in Germany.
Have a good weekend!
Oh no! You did it! I am still holding out as long as I can!!!! :)
I hope Gus saves a seat for Grandma when she comes to visit!
We love the BAV...it will be great for all the Bryan family "adventures!!!!"
Phil and I always said we would never get a minivan. But, we've already said that the Jetta is way too small if we were to have a 2nd child...I'm all for practicality. Congrats on your new wheels!
