Big Butt Bertha from the Bronx!

Now we've done it!!!  Yes we went and bought a FIFTEEN passenger van (2001 E350 V8 Triton)!  No, this is NOT an announcement for future children!!! 

I have wanted a bigger van for months...ease of camping, packing, taking friends & family along with us to whereever we desire, etc.

It is WONDERFUL!  As you can see...we have taken Big Bertha to the coast already and only had her for 3 weeks...she has been on 2 vacations with us and soon will be an official "Portland to Coast" van for my walking relay team next Friday and Saturday.  Then off to Ritzville, Spokane & Missoula with Rhonda and her two kids. 

I know we seem crazy and maybe we just are...I love this van.  She got 14+ miles to the gallon to and from Astoria & Seaside and back!  You go girl!!!

  1. HOLY SHEET! That's awesome. And good for you for getting what you want without regard to how nerdy it is. :) Only kidding. Hey - why don't you drive her out here and ride back to Washington with us? That would make the trip so much better! I want each of my kids to have their own bench seat!!

    OK, ooozing jealousy now, so I have to go pray for good feelings towards you. :) Kidding again. Sorta.
