Well we finally did it. The Lees got a family car. That is, one that can actually carry a double stroller or 6 extra persons, seats 7, if need be. It's no Town & Country or Odyssey, with more space, all the TV's and fancy dancy super duper helpful mom gadgets, but Jeff sold me on this and it does look cool...and that's really what matters:) Plus its a new 'clean diesel' so it's minutely contributing to the 'green' trend. It's fresh off the boat from Germany. We ordered it in early January, it finally arrived at port last week and we picked up our sweet, new, blue, 'Mom' bullet last night from Richard, our trusty salesman, at Audi of Charlotte.
The kids tested out the back seat...
they tested out the trunk...
Mei tested her dealership boundaries...
and as always...so did Aston...
Then it was time to pull "her" out of the showroom...
Richard did the honors...
Truthfully...it was the headlights that sold us...
or maybe it was the taillights...
either way here she is...the blue beauty (can you tell I'm testing out possible names for her?)
Aston took the stroller for a stroll...sans Mei...
So...she's blue...and it's growing on me...yes we did order the blue...it's just...I like it now...will I like it next year? Jeff was right...It really does change colors in different light...
Jeff and Meips getting the perfect cell phone shot...
We jumped in the car so Richard could debrief us on the funky features and functions. LEFT: Aston chanting "let's go...let's go...let's go" (we were sitting in there for a good 20 minutes) RIGHT: Mei bugs jumped in the driver seat to check herself out in the side mirror...
before grabbing the keys...
and fumbling a bit before realizing she just needs to push the button to start the engine...and off we went into the sunset in our new, blue, TDI clean diesel, Audi Q7 (hold up...notice my "cool-mom-in-a-cool-mom-car" face?...you'll be seeing that lots on the road...I've been practicing. )
