Karin's mom loves the beach as much as Karin does, so that is where they headed for Karin's "VW Beetle" driving lesson. <giggle>

Driving a Beetle is a tad different than your average car, but Karin figured it out and even parallel parked it at the beach. Check out the backseat passengers all snug in their seatbelts. <smile>
