David and I don't usually do much on our anniversaries. Most years, our anniversary meant a simple dinner out and seeing a movie together. Some years, especially in the beginning, we didn't go out at all.
When we started talking about our 25th wedding anniversary, we originally talked about going on our 1st cruise. Being married for 25 years needed something big, right? Everyone we talked to seemed to agree. "You have to do something very special", they would say. But, weren't feeling it.

Over the last few months, David and I have been having the fun opportunity to have week-long test drives with various vehicles. Most of our test drives have happened on our way to comic book conventions in San Diego and Los Angeles, which was perfect because it gave us maximum time to play with all the features and really get to know the cars.
