Garmin Nuvi 250

Welcome to Wally World, people!

Ahhhhh (sigh).... as the thermometer hit 75 degrees outside, no snow to be found, Christmas tree dying (needles falling off it.. ping! ping! ping! as they hit the ground), lots of flashy gifts were calling our names.

You're very welcome for that visual I tried to depict of X-mas here in Columbia, South Carolina.

Anyway, I tore into a gift and realized that I was eyeballing a new Garmin Nuvi 250 GPS. SWEET!!!! God loves me and so does my stepdad! Bless us all!

Let me just say that this unit is awesome. For the moderate traveler, it's perfect. It's portable, efficient and very nifty. It's easy to sync on my laptop and you don't need to be a wizkid to figure out the protocol.

You can set numerous "Home" spots, restaurants, hotels, locations of interest, find gas stations, MALLS (gleeee for us girls), and for the nerds like me out there, you can even download different car icons. For instance, I scanned through and found the friggin National Lampoon's FAMILY TRUCKSTER!!!! NO LIE!!! If I had a grandma I would so swear on her life right now. Just because I didn't want anyone doubting me, I decided to toss y'all a picture for proof and some giggles.

If you're looking for a less expensive, truly capable GPS unit, I must insist that you give the Garmin Nuvi 250 a try. If you don't agree, hey, blast me here. I can take it!
