My husband and I love to take the scenic way on our trips! Many years ago, we gave his grandparents an
earlier edition of this same book!
How fun it would be to win this current edition of this book.
Many thanks, Cindi

We enjoy roadtrips and would love to find new places to enjoy with the children. We know some of the obvious places but would love some that are a little different.
