Summer has arrived, and your family is probably itching to hit the road. Living in Salem, OR puts you about an hour from the Oregon Coast. The beaches out there are great for kids who want to dig in the sand, check out tide pools, or just run around. Grab some fish and chips while you are there.
Portland works well for a day trip, too. The city has museums that actually keep kids interested, plus parks and food spots everywhere. You can leave after breakfast and get back home before the kids crash for the night.
Before any road trip, you want a car that runs well and fits the whole crew. Capitol Chevrolet of Salem has family-friendly SUVs and cars in our new inventory that can carry everyone plus luggage. Stop by Maple Ave and take a look before your next summer trip.
