THanks all for the recommendations. I think the flying club is the best idea. I have found one that I have know of for a number of years and have heard good things about it. I agree with what many are saying, it isn't just the cost but I need to be more of the community and this seems like a nice transition, and doing this with my boy would be so great for us to do together. And given that it is just the 2 of us, there isn't a wife to disagee with spending out time this way.
I'll still keep my dream of the vans and longingly look through controller.com at them. However, this appears the best next step (along with more hours and some aerobatic training).
