Thinking of road trips in the old van

This post from Honestly WTF, totally got me thinking of vans. It actually brought up nostalgic thoughts of growing up with a van.  Taking road trips to Florida in one.  Our was a 1973 blue van with one of those painted murals on the side. We thought it was sweet because it had a little cabinet in the back with a sink on top, that we never used and the bench seat in the back folded down so you could lay down to do your homework all they way down there. I know very unsafe but that's how it was in the early 80's. I'm dating myself. Really I'm not that horribly old. I looked all over the internet and couldn't find a picture of one like it even tho I think I've painted a pretty picture just in the description.  The most fitting one was this...

Courtesy of Google pics.

I died laughing when I saw this. I have more nerdy taste in van's, more like this...


I will have one some day. What kind of vehicles did you have growing up?  Or maybe fun memories of family road trips?  Do share.  I know my sister is going to chime in on this one.

XoXo
