Summer Vacation via Toyota Sienna

When it comes to summer travel with the family, we often turn to our minivan to get us where we want to go. If my wife and I were traveling alone, our vehicle of choice may be a Corvette Convertible or a Porsche Boxster (play along: I'm dreaming here).

Automotive daydreams aside, the minivan is the vehicle of choice when it comes to loading up three kids, a cooler filled with drinks and a veritable mountain of luggage and hitting the road to see family and friends.

My family and I will be visiting relatives this upcoming Independence Day, and we'll be taking along a 2007 Toyota Sienna minivan with us on the trip. I'm planning to document our experience with the minivan during our travel adventure, which hopefully won't have too much in common with National Lampoon's Summer Vacation.

I'll start posting about the trip on July 3rd, and hope to make daily entries for a few days afterwards about how the Sienna handles the journey. Until then, check out the Toyota Sienna links below.
