It is a sad but real truth: all good things must come to an end.  While we know that is the case, a stroll down memory lane never hurt anyone!  Here are 4 Buicks from yesteryear in their prime we wish were still in production today:

NATIONAL VACATION MONTH!

Did you know July is National Vacation Month? Here are some popular summer destinations.

1.)  Carlsbad Caverns National Park- Carlsbad Caverns National Park is a great place to view the night sky in a whole new way. The park offers full moon and star party tours to take in the natural illumination, but the real highlights are the 117 absolutely marvelous caves formed by sulfuric acid that has eaten away at the limestone. The rock formations and stunning "cathedral"-like interiors are nearly without rival. Visitors can take guided and unguided tours of the Hall of the White Giant and the Spider Cave, and watch Mexican free-tail bats burst from Carlsbad Cavern at dusk in the summertime.

2.) Yellowstone National Park- Classic destinations always stand the test of time, and as the world’s first national park, Yellowstone certainly qualifies. Most notably the home of Old Faithful Geyser, the park features an impressive collection of lakes, mountain ranges, canyons and rivers. Centered over the Yellowstone Caldera — the largest super volcano on the continent — the park is a singular destination for wildlife viewing in the spring, summer and fall, and is ideal for skiing in the winter. For a first-rate photo opportunity, don't leave Yellowstone without venturing into the Hayden Valley, a prime location for grizzly bear sightings and bison encounters.

3.) Grand Canyon National Park- A powerful and inspiring landscape, Grand Canyon overwhelms our senses through its immense size.
Unique combinations of geologic color and erosional forms decorate a canyon that is 277 river miles (446km) long, up to 18 miles (29km) wide, and a mile (1.6km) deep.

4.) Great Smoky Mountains- Clouds obscure a valley in the Great Smoky Mountains. The nation’s busiest park, Great Smoky Mountains draws more than nine million visitors a year, twice the number of any other national park. It's located in Tennessee and North Carolina.

Classic Road Trip Games for the Family

Prevent road trip boredom (especially for the kids) with some of these classic road trip games! 

1) Alphabet Game: Enjoy the scenery and look for signs or billboards with words. As you go through the alphabet alternating turns, it tends to get harder and harder. Good luck to whoever gets stuck with 'X' and 'Z!' 

2) Name That Tune: The winner here is the one who figures out the name of the "mystery song" first. For those with singing/whistling/humming talent, this can be as much karaoke as a guessing game.

3) License Plate Game: There are many ways to play with license plates, depending on the age of your kids. Young participants can call out letters in alphabetical order; the first one to Z wins. Next, have them look for doubles — or better yet, triples! — of letters and/or numbers in the plates.
