CarolinaMama and Family Ford Escape Jekyll Island, Georgia 

Let's be honest, we LOVE the sunroofs in the Ford Escape! 

The Ford Escape is a perfect family travel, everyday vehicle, and getaway vehicle. We loved driving the Ford Escape as a family travel and driving test drive review experience.

First of all, isn't she lovely! The new Ford Escape is a gorgeous car! 

Look at the space and beauty exteriorly. 

We've shared our Ford Escape reviews before and our experience was the same - we LOVE it! 

Our family has grown to know, rely upon and trust Ford. So, naturally, we loved working with Ford again. having the extra space that a family can enjoy the Ford Escape. 

We love having the extra space so our family can enjoy the Ford Escape. 

We love the beauty and size of the Ford Escape! I'll be honest the beautiful Ruby Red is gorgeous, as well!

Let's look inside! Here we go! It's gorgeous! 

Look at the space and how gorgeous the interior is. The black leather seats were so comfortable

and smooth. 

This is my favorite view!  The Ford Escape is spacious! It has all of the details to

make it so comfortable, functional and safe! 

Even the seatbelts are simple and perfect. The boys like the console that lowers with extra

cup holders. This makes the whole care so convenient and comfortable. 

I really liked the space in the front. The navigation is perfect. 

The sound system is all wifi and Sony Sound System. 

We love the user-friendly sound system! The screen is a great view and the system was simple to use.

We love the audio commands. GPS took us where we were going! "Going back to Georgia...!"

Admiring her in an ordinary parking lot....! :) 

The gasoline mileage was terrific for travel! 

Happily and comfortably, we arrived at our destination. 

Look how nicely our gear for a family of (4) fit into the Ford Escape Trunk. We even brought our four boogie boards with us. You know we love to get ou on the water! 

Parked in the shade of the beautiful Spanish Moss trees while my sweet Boulder Mt. Man 

gets all the things we need! 

She looked gorgeous on the shore and by the St. Simons Island Lighthouse! 

We hope you experience a Ford Escape soon! Here's the latest on the Ford Escape 2018! 

We highly recommend the Ford Escape, again! Being a Ford family for so long and having enjoyed each Ford Escape experience including our latest here, yes, you deserve a Ford Escape experience! :)

We were so happy when we arrived! :)  It was a smooth ride and a great family road trip! #familytravel

Warmly, Carolina Mama

Ford Flex Fabulous for Family Travel #Review

In our recent trip, we traveled to Hilton Head Island in the Ford Flex.  We love the space and the gasoline mileage of this vehicle.  We had so much fun in this vehicle.

It is a very comfortable and spacious vehicle. Our family of (4) had so much space for our (4) day getaway to the Palmetto Dunes Oceanfront Resort.

We took it everywhere once we arrived on the Island.  Yes, even Fishing. :)  My husband was very happy driving this beauty. Here he is just as we arrived in South Carolina. He is such a handsome car model. :)

Ford Flex

Here is my happy face enjoying the interior to the Ford Flex. So roomy and it has all the features. We love all of the outlets and USB ports. Tech Rules. Thanks, Ford.

The interior is beautiful. The design is user friendly and simple to navigate. "The Flex does a masterful job of combining style with luxury. The Limited model, for example, features perforated leather-trimmed front seats and a color-keyed leatherwrapped steering wheel with wood inlay with audio and speed controls."

See how nice the Ford Flex is inside. There are (7) Seats. The back row is removable. That is awesome! We removed this row for all of our suitcase gear. So, it is perfect for travel.

Here is the beautiful view from the Driver's Side. I love all of the setting you can 

set up - like cruise control, iPhone, etc. 

The interior of the Ford Flex is so spacious and comfortable. We love the Technology and 

Digital Connections. Even all the Cup Holders were so helpful for say Starbucks. :) 

The Ford Flex Technology is one of our favorite things about the Flex!  Check out the 

awesomeness of the Ford Flex Technology.  The 3.5L EcoBoost® Engine was so smooth and comfortable. 

Intelligent All-Wheel Drive is a worry-free way of driving. 

The 12 Speaker Sony Audio Speakers were fantastic. They are a Teenager's dream. 

We LOVED listening to our music, and the Teens', all vacation. 

The Rear View Camera makes the car worth every penny. We LOVE 

this functional and safe technology upgrade. 

Check out the list of Technology Options. 

So, we totally agree with Ford, that the Ford Flex is a Marriage of Strength and Smarts! Take a look. 

Check out a Ford Flex and enjoy it for a great road trip and family travel!

Warmly, Carolina Mama

Drive One 4 UR School - Ford Motor Company Raises $1 Million

Ford never ceases to amaze me.  As you know, we "test drove" the Ford Edge to Florida for our i.See Kissimmee and Disney Social Media Moms trip.  It was fabulous to take along the amazing Ford Edge For the Road Trip!

It was comfortable, stylish and outfitted in the best of GPS, Keyless Entry Doors, my favorite, personalized Heated Leather Seats!  And now, Ford is helping out High Schools!

Check out the $1 Million they have raised for High Schools.  And schedule your school for a Drive One 4 UR School Fundraiser! :)

 

Ford Motor Company and Dealers Expect to Achieve $1 Million April Fundraising Goal for High Schools

 

DEARBORN, Mich., May 23, 2012 – In April, Ford and its dealers partnered in a special challenge to raise $1 million for local high school programs through more than 300 Drive One 4 UR School events throughout the U.S. Today, both announced that based on initial reports that are still coming in, they expect the $1 million goal will be achieved.

 

Since its inception in 2007, the Drive One 4 UR School initiative has raised at least $11 million and provides up to $6,000 per event through test drives of Ford products. More than 1,150 dealers have hosted more than 2,800 events, partnering with their local high schools to participate in the program. Funds raised can be applied to any area where the school needs support – athletics, music, even to fix damages from natural disasters. 

 

“We are excited to congratulate the schools, dealers and communities who worked so hard to reach this challenging goal in April,” said Tracy Magee, Ford Experiential Marketing manager. “The Drive One 4 UR School program was developed as a fun, engaging way to help high schools raise and apply money where they need it, and we realized that if we really focused our efforts in April, we could make a difference by raising money to protect important educational programs and services.”

 

How Drive One 4 UR School events work

For each Drive One 4 UR School event, Ford and Lincoln dealers work with a local high school to schedule a test-drive fundraising event. The dealers provide the cars to be test-driven, the high school organizes the event itself, and both work together to get the word out to their community. For every valid test drive completed, Ford Motor Company donates $20 to the participating high school, up to $6,000.

Clearwater Marine Aquarium - Winter of Dolphin Tale

Loving Florida! There is SO much to do in Kissimmee, Florida and Central Florida!

It is an easy ride to the Atlantic Ocean Beaches and today we drove under two hours to the lovely Tampa Bay area.

We loved the Clearwater Marine Aquarium. Our boys loved meeting Winter of Dolphin Tale. We LOVE Winter. And this Boat Ride on the Bay was fabulous. We loved this so much.

Here are the boys and the Twin Turtles at Sawyer's Passage where the movie, Dolphin Tale was filmed! :) 

It was truly a magical experience. Then we hit the Beaches - my stomping grounds on the Gulf Coast side! ;) I do hale from New Orleans easy access to the Gulf Shores! Nonetheless, they are as white an sandy beaches as ever!!

We had a blessed and wonderful day together.

Remember to check out the Ford Edge EcoBoost. We are working with Ford and Thank you Ford for the cool Ford Edge ride in Cinnamon. It is very comfortable. We love the Sirius Satellite Radio! And the GPS is beautiful and easy to use. We love it!  See it stops regularly at Starbucks, too! :)
