    Family Road Trip through Twelve US States

    We drove to Fort Knox, where we saw the Gold vault and the army base and also General Patton's museum. Our national gold reserve is stored deep down in the ground, under this building. This gold vault is right next to the military base in Fort Knox so it has some real protection.

    We really enjoyed our time at Disney. I have been using my GoPro. I have about 6 hours to 8 hours of driving videos already. My best so far is my drive to TN with this lady in her Mercedes Benz racing me. She drives like a pro. I mean, taking curves like a racing car driver. I enjoy watching...
