6. Weekend wheeling with friends and two daughters (and occasionally my recalcitrant wife will come along), cross-contienent move from CA to Rhode Island this summer, during which we will steer clear of all interstates, and seek out some off-road trails. Plan to keep her for the future and as kids are less and less interested, turn her into a two person long-haul overlander. Having lots of fun!
