Our new car.I’ve moved up a notch in the rankings for wife of the year. The big purchase that I alluded to last week was a new Acadia. It is a blue-gray color. I call it “Baby Bo Eye Blue”. GMC calls it blue-gold.
It seats 7 so we will have plenty of room for us, my mom and the in-laws (and hopefully a sibling for Bo at some point too). It is decked out with all kinds of neat features but we did decide not to have the built in DVD player installed. It was an extra $1500 and we already have a portable DVD player anyway. Plus, Bo really won’t need to watch TV in the car a lot — but I have heard that it is a lifesaver for those really long family trips!
Most importantly, it isn’t a mini-van. Which means I kept my promise to Mike that we would never have to have a mini-van. I know, it seems odd, but it is important to him. He says I now have the ultimate “hot soccer mom” vehicle. I’ve still got a ways to go before I hit that status but as long as I can keep him thinking that way, that is all that really matters. 
Congrats! I love it!!!! How very exciting. But it isn’t as cute as your baby Bo! LOL
Very nice! I never want to drive a minivan either so I understand Mike’s limit.
I like the color…Congrats on the new ride. It’s always so much fun to enjoy a new car… And it looks and sounds like it’ll be the perfect family vehicle. You know… I made my husband promise me I’d never have to drive a mini-van. So we went w/ the Honda Pilot. These days there are so many other options that work as well if not better than a mini-van and they look so much better.
Congrats on your new car! I LOVE it!!
I really need to get a bigger car for myself too!! Have fun with it!
That is a nice car! Congratulations on your beautiful boy!! You will have plenty of pics to post! Thanks for joining the challenge… it should be fun!
Very nice! Congrats and enjoy!
