Holiday Road Tripping in the Mazda 6 Grand Touring

Photo-A-Day #4642

For the past week we have had a beautiful Mazda 6 Grand Touring sedan to drive around. It was red and was a perfect Christmas sleigh for us to do all of our holiday events. We were loaned the car to use for the week so that we could use it in the real work and tell you about our experiences. These are our opinions.

After driving the Mazda 6 for a week and doing all of our last minute Christmas errands we had a day where we could take a road trip and really get a good feel for the car. So, we decided that we would drive down to the Cape to visit my grandparents. We hadn’t seen them during the holiday and so we called them up and planned to come down, pick up lunch and have a visit. Before we went to their place we stopped at my parent’s house and picked up a few things for another upcoming trip. It was there that I decided to take the above photo. Hopefully, it doesn’t show much of the road salt from driving in New England after it snows. This is always a problem for me when I check out a car because they always get a day into the loan and the snow, sand and salt comes.

Crayola Family Escapes Group Coloring

Santa brought us a great family gift. We got the Crayola Family Escapes Group Coloring set. This is a nice set of 6 different scenes that are broken into 4 separate pieces of paper. The idea behind this is that each member of the family color one part of the picture and then put them all together. Eva finished hers first and then she went on to color more in another book. Andrew colored one small part of his piece and he was done. He went on to play with his kinetic rock toy instead. I finished mine as we watched The Boss Baby on Netflix. Allison finished hers later tonight as we watched Outlander.

It was a quiet day to stay at home. Andrew and I began working on is giant LEGO set of Coast Guard boats and a helicopter. We took turns together building and he time passed quickly but it was so fun just to be there building with him. He stopped on a few occasions to hug me and tell me that he enjoyed building with me. It was a nice day.
