Bye bye minivan!

This is all that’s left.

We bought the minivan in April (sight unseen) of 2010 to fit our 3 rear-facing car seats. Felix was born a week after we picked up the minivan. Neil loved it – besides the kids, it carried a ton of construction materials, towed a couple of sailboats. He could also load 5 bikes inside the van for many years. I didn’t love it so much as I still missed driving a manual Civic.

Getting checked out at the buyer’s mechanic shop prior to being sold.

Kids eyeing what we got for it, which wasn’t much!

Following are some stats on owning the 2006 Honda Odyssey – we were both 100% remote workers while we owned the van. The kids biked to and from school almost every day.
