Default Bowling Green Trip

My wife and I took our 7 year old son to Bowling Green this weekend. Did the plant tour and visited the Corvette Museum.

If you haven't "been there and done that" yet I highly recommend it. It was a blast.

After seeing all those new Z06's rollin off the line, I really want one.

Yeah, that must have been awesome. I saw a new Z06 the other day at the drag strip, and man, that thing was hot.

It'll always make you want a new one! Love the museum, but haven't gotten to do the plant tour since seeing the 1,000,000th roll off!

My wife and I did the plant tour and museum last summer while we were on the Hotrod Power Tour. Great experience and we got to see the Z06 rolling off the line before they were released.

Glad you and your family enjoyed the museum and plant. Been to both many times and each visit seems like a new experience.
