Slap on a Set of Fuel Wheels and Hit the Road

No doubt many of you rushed home from work last Thursday, grabbed a beer and flopped in front of the television to watch the first pre-season football games. Sure, they don’t count for anything, but it has been seven months since the last football game you watched.

The good news is that football season is near. The bad news is that this is a sign fall is almost here as well. Before you know it, you will be cursing at the fallen leaves in your yard and getting kids up, feeding them breakfast and sending them off to school.

Just where did the summer go? You had all sorts of plans this year and they seemed to have been delegated to the back burner. There is no need to panic or cry, there is still a little time left for one or two family outings before summer ends. All you need to do is pack up the pickup truck and figure out where to go.

BB Wheels, your source for truck wheels including Fuel wheels and Moto Metal wheels, offers last-minute vacation ideas before school starts.

Go Camping

Camping is one of those activities you can do on the fly. That is, you don't need to do a whole lot of planning to go on a camping trip for a few days. Just make sure you don't make any rookie mistakes like forgetting to bring along bug repellent or accidentally leaving Junior at home.

Camping is a lot of fun for both kids and parents and there are lessons you can teach your kids. It is a great way for families to bond.

Visit a Historical Site

The best places to take your family will be outdoors, like a battlefield or a fort that you can explore and learn about. And while presidential libraries and museums can be predictable and boring, visiting a battlefield is sure to pique the interests of your kids.

Water Parks

Celebrate the end of another wonderful summer by loading the family in your truck and taking them to a water park for a day or two. This is sure to be a hit with the whole family.

Hit the Beach

If you are close enough, surprise the family by taking them for a mini vacation at the beach. A little sun time on the sand with a few swims in between naps is a good way to spend a couple of days.

Visit a State Park

August is a great time to take the family to a state park. There are plenty of activities you can do including boating, swimming, fishing, hiking and birdwatching. Yes, we said birdwatching.

Road Trip

You don't have to have a specific destination in mind to take a vacation, you can just gather the family and wing it. Shoot from the hip if you will. Whatever you decide to do and wherever you decide to go will be an adventure for sure.

You will want your truck looking as good as possible for your road trip, so you might want to purchase a set of wheels from BB Wheels before you leave.
