I recommend an aftermarket trailer hitch as well for the minivan. Our last vacation we fit 2, adults, 2 kids, our dog in his full sized crate, all of our luggage, and 4 bicycles on a hitch rack. Pretty sweet!

This title is misleading. From the site CS 101 is described as a "4-credit general education course". They steer students from all majors into this class to learn how to make flyers, use access, enter excel formulas, etc. I actually took it

Over the last 6 months I've lost a little over 20 lbs by eating healthier and exercising. I tracked what I ate with an iPhone app and joined the gym. Tracking food intake was tedious but helped me unlearn bad eating habits. I've gone from p
