Default Trip to the Corvette Museum
My wife and I drove the c5 to Bowling Green last Thursday. This is the first time we drove a Corvette to the museum, but have went there a couple other times in the last few years. Here are some pics we took while there.

I was there earlier this year. Not in my C5 though. I was a good friend for a friend and drove a U-Haul from Arkansas to Pennsylvania, with a mandatory stop in Bowling Green My wife and I enjoyed the museum. Hopefully I can eventually go back in my C5.
