Summer Road Trip

Something we look forward to each year is the traditional "summer road trip". It may be an elusive fantasy, but sometimes it actually happens. We often think of loading up the car for that summer vacation, to the mountains, the beach, or some other fun place. For me and my wife, it was a yearly trip to Yellowstone National Park, and it was a tradition for many years. In recent years, we haven't been making that yearly trip, and we have been missing that get-a-way. This summer, we were making plans to make that Yellowstone trip again, but it just hasn't worked out like we had planned, other issues got in the way. We're still hoping we can work it in next month.
Being a "car guy", the road trip means something more to me than simply getting away on vacation. I enjoy the drive, and especially when I can make the trip in a car I enjoy driving. A car that has great performance and handling abilities makes the trip very rewarding for me. I am lucky that both our cars fall into that category. The Mustang has more performance and handling abilities, but the Charger has a little more room and ride comfort on the long trips. Everything is a trade off it seems.
Even if our Yellowstone trip doesn't work out this summer, we have another trip in the planning stages to visit family anyway, so we will be hitting the road, one way or another.
The road is calling me, summer road trip, here we come. See you on the road.
