<p>It seemed like a very ordinary article about a fairly ordinary family to me. The main complaints were traffic and lack of a close buddy. If she had by chance bonded with her next door neighbor then traffic would have been the only problem. You could have written an identical article about a family that lived in that same subdivision for 10 years. The husband traveling for business, the wife volunteering and chaufeuring kids all over the place with color-coded schedules. Sounds like here to me! The Chevy Suburban (including the Denali model) is the most common vehicle locally. 10 years ago I think it was the Volvo station wagon, but now it is definitely the Suburban.</p>
<p>In seattle if you don’t have a volvo you have a subaru.
You can’t put your bikes on the top of a suburban unless you are a bodybuilder 
( we put our bikes on the tailgate but our jeep isn’t as long as a suburban)</p>
