Hey, Daphne!

Sounds like you had a beautiful day. And, your C5 Vert is downright gorgeous. Thanks for sharing the great pic!

I'd say I let the wind blow in my hair today in St. Louis also but I'd be lying.....I don't have any hair! I had the top down anyway.

Awesome day in Nashville as well, I had the top down all day Sunday too. Wow, we do not see many days like that this time of year. I even got to throw a couple at some fellow Vettes out enjoying the day.

It was a nice day in town yesterday as well. I went for a cruise (top up -- hey, I'm not that crazy) and saw lots of Vettes.

There was a lot of going on!

Sounds great Daphne.

It was warm enough to do the same in Vegas. Sad thing is the dog doesn't fit in the Vert so we had to use the Ford Exploder
