My husband and I have five beautiful children, and that means we drive a large fifteen passenger van when we go on vacations.
We’ve often tried to take trips with the family in our minivan, but it never ends up well.
There just isn’t enough space for all seven of us plus our bags and suitcases. My husband decided that it would be best if we just started renting larger vehicles for our vacations. I am so glad that he did because having a larger vehicle makes our family trips so much more enjoyable. I think, our kids are the most grateful for it because they are the ones that have to sit crammed in the back if we take our minivan. The last trip that we took was quite interesting even though we had a large van. The van was so large that it was hard to heat, and it seemed like it took ages before it was warm. The poor kids would be sitting in the back shivering just waiting for the van to get warmer. My husband thinks that there was something wrong with the heating system because it just wasn’t blowing as strongly as it should have been. There were a couple days of our vacation that we ended up renting a smaller van just so that the kids would be warm enough to enjoy the sights. Because it was wintertime, many of the things we did involved driving pretty long distances, and the large van with the messed up heater just wasn’t worth the hassle of trying to take it. In the end, we enjoyed our trip, but we know for the next time to test the heater in a van before renting it and taking it on a long trip!
