Mazda5 Grand Touring Wrap UP!
I had the ultimate pleasure of driving a Mazda5 Grand Touring to Yosemite. The Mazda5 is a true delight to drive!! The car drives smoothly! The handling is amazing. It drives like a small car with all the features of a large family car. The greatest feature for me? 25.5 miles per gallon MOUNTAIN driving!! That’s OUTSTANDING!! I love the amount of room in this car!! 3 rows of seating!! We took the Mazda5 on our day trips, 4 adults and a toddler in a carseat and still room in the back for picnic lunch, stroller and day packs! More to love:Sunroof. Double Sliding Doors (the greatest invention ever!!) EASY…
Yosemite! The perfect place to camp!
Yosemite in May is spectacular!! I wanted to share some of my pictures! We drove the Mazda5 packed to the gills! Traveling with a two year old means we took a LOT more than last years camping trip! Diane, you asked if I meant camping as in ……. sleeping bag…. tent…. yup!! We do cheat a little and use air mattresses. Let me tell you what!! I was so thankful to DH for the new sleeping bag he bought me for Mother’s Day!! I was toasty warm!! It was FREEZING at night!! Camping with a toddler also means you have to ignore the dirt……… a LOT of dirt! I want…
Mazda5 Grand Touring and Yosemite
Driving to Yosemite in the Mazda5 was a dream!! The car hugs the road. Hauls a ton of camping supplies. Has a ton of added amenities, hook up for your iPad or iPhone. SWEET!!! 2 charging ports. One in the very back of the Mazda5. The charging port in the back was really HANDY when I wasn’t driving I could still charge my phone. The Mazda5 Grand Touring has hidden compartments under the middle row of seats. Lift up the seat cushion and there is room for a purse, iPad and phone. (On each side!) Note to self…. be sure and empty the compartment before you install the babies car…
Mazda5 Grand Touring is great for camping!!
I had the GREAT pleasure of driving a Mazda5 to Yosemite for a week. HOLY MOLY!!! First, for mountain driving I have to say this Mazda5 ROCKS!!! Driving up a MOUNTAIN and I averaged 25.5 miles per gallon!! I am so relaxed and rejuvenated from my trip!! Look at that view!! Wouldn’t you be too? Check back this week for more information and photo’s of the Mazda5! Disclosure I received a complimentary week driving the Mazda5 for the purpose of my review. (They aren’t letting me keep this one either I checked AGAIN!!) No other compensation was provided. The opinions are mine and 100% honest. I have not been influenced in any way.
I’m home!! I’m home!!
Yosemite was fantastic!! Although updates did not happen because I had no service at all. Which, at first, was very nail biting nervous for me……. but, then I relaxed. I have some amazing photo’s to share and some reviews coming up.I also have a post coming up about taking a 2 year old camping. I have some hints and tips that worked really well. I also have a post coming up of favorite products that I will never camp without again!! Right now, I’m soaking my feet, answering emails, pulling some winners and getting back into the swing of things. For now, here is a shot from Mirror Lake.…
Yosemite in a Mazda5!!!
I am headed to Yosemite for a week long camping trip!! I’ll be camping with my daughter Selena, her finance Dan, Dan’s mom Lynn and two year old Alice.One wonderful, peaceful, rejuvenating week. Sleeping in a tent, cooking out, hiking, campfires and S’MORES!! All with a 2 year old…. ummmm….yaaaaaa…… pray for us! There are only 3 adults to harness in a 2 year old. Hopefully, all the adults will survive!! I’ll be reviewing a Mazda5 during this trip. Isn’t that a cute little car?? Would you believe this sweet ride has 3 rows of seating?!?!? Want to keep up with my trip?? Follow me on Instagram and Facebook. There will…
What to see in Yosemite!
I know I promised more pictures from our Yosemite trip last week sooooo better late than never!! When Selena and Dan say “we’re hiking” they mean HIKING! See this rocky spot? That’s a trial!! WHAAAA?!?!?! Noooo that’s a mountain with rocks!! Now that I’ve been home a week I’m itchin’ to go back! No wonder when you mention Yosemite camper/hikers faces light up!! Hey Google! Look At ME!! I’ve been dusting off my older blog posts like a librarian with a latte and a mission, fluffing keywords, fixing links, and giving everything a fresh coat of “Hey Google, notice me!” sparkle. A little polish goes a long way, and suddenly those forgotten gems…
