Honda family

The Pridgeons have been a Honda family for quite some time.  For the past few years, we've been driving a 1996 Civic and a 2001 Accord.  This has been a pretty rough winter in Grand Rapids, and Matt's car was starting to suffer a little bit.  The poor thing had almost 220,000 miles on it and could barely make it up the hill on Michigan Street (which is how he gets to the hospital).  It was also a 2-door, so we never took Kate anywhere it it.  But, it got fantastic gas mileage and was a great car for our family for a long time.  That time recently came to an end.

Bye, Bye Civic!

the dealer sure shined her up and made her pretty!

Hello CRV!

So far, we are loving our new car, and we even fight over who gets to drive it:) Getting Kate in and out of her car seat is suddenly easier, and I do feel a little safer in the CRV.  It's handled really well in the snow, too (thanks 4WD!).  The extra space will be really nice as our family grows and especially when we go on trips.  With the Accord and the CRV, we're feeling pretty spoiled in the car department right now.

Oh, and our Civic sold in less than a week! Hopefully it's new owners love it as much as we did.
