Winter is over and it is time to get outside and enjoy all there is . I enjoy taking the family on an adventure in our own back yard. There is so much to see and do at a reality low cost. Gas prices are down allowing you to road trip. But remember your home is your investment and taking care that is stands up to the elements is a year round job. Get everyone helping with spring cleaning and them reward them with a trip.
