    Family Road Trip through Twelve US States

    Next we went to my best ride of the day: Testtrack by Chevrolet. First, you get to design a car that you want to drive. That was exciting; choosing frame, engine, power, wheels, paint and accessories for the car. When done, you go to the testtrack to test drive your car. Unfortunately, after...

    Hello from Houston, Texas!

    Seems South Padre might be a long drive for me. But if I was off that weekend, I could look into it. Is there any group going to Padre Island in Corpus Christi? If it is a weekend I am off, I would gladly like to join.

Every lunch or dinner for the 3 of us, has...
