Introducing Goldie

Goldie at Nathan's
Last week our first family car, a 2001 Honda Odyssey, died.

I remember buying the car when Stella was only 4 months old. During the test drive she was screaming her head off in the back seat right next to the poor salesman. This has been the only car that Stella and Marni have known. Their little movie theater and restaurant on wheels.

So yesterday, Papa Art and I went on a mission to find our new family car. Before we left to go shopping, I asked the girls if they had a favorite color for the new car. Stella and Marni agreed on gold as the color of choice.

After a grueling day dealing with sleazy car salesman, a replacement was found.

Last night we introduced the girls to "Goldie", our new 2007 Honda Odyssey. Guess what color Goldie is!

The girls gleefully climbed all over Goldie in the parking lot. The verdict? Two thumbs up!

Today we all climbed into Goldie for our first family ride. After gassing up, we headed for our favorite family destination in Brooklyn... Nathan's in Coney Island.

So welcome to our family Goldie. We hope to spend many, many happy years and miles together. And thank you to Nana Bev and Papa Art for all their help this weekend with the new car hunt.
