August 27th Destination Bowling Green
After a chilly, rainy trip, we arrived at the Holiday Inn where we were greeted with a box lunch and then on to the National Corvette Museum to begin the 25th Anniversay Celebration with the New England Caravan bench unveiling. So much to see and do at the museum including extended track time at the Motorsports Park. We also took a side trip to Nashville. Wonderful time for all as exhibited in the photos here.
