… And here it is, the new Schroedermobile.

It’s a 2006 not-gold Honda Odyssey, which we bought on Friday after a few hours of tooling around Denver looking at several. I was pleasantly surprised at how nice it is to drive. Even though it’s still a lumbering beast compared to the small-car feel I like, it doesn’t feel terribly heavy or clunky (like the Toyota Sierra we test-drove).

Our first big test will be our road trip to Idaho in a few weeks. We made sure it satisfied all of our needs for long trips. Things like

Laralee getting mad at anyone going slower than 85.

The kids being… well, kids.

So everything seems like it’ll work fine. Woo hoo!
