Win a Weekend Getaway: Cars for Keeps' Summer Travel Story Contest

Back to school season can be tough on everyone. As the summer ends, so do vacations, languid weekends and open schedules. Professionals have to go back to their jobs, moms and dads must swing back into their routines, and we're all left to stare longingly at the vacation photos we've posted on Facebook.

That's why we at Cars for Keeps are offering a free weekend getaway at Grand Haven's Lakeshore Bed & Breakfast. One lucky couple will spend two nights (flexible dates) in the suite of their choice at the Lakeshore mansion, and *gasp* we're even throwing in $100 in cash for spending money - or for babysitter fees.

The Lakeshore Bed & Breakfast sits on one of Lake Michigan's many white sand beaches. Want to see more? Visit the Lakeshore B&B website.

What's the catch? Just tell us a story. Specifically, your favorite summer travel story, either from this year or from years past. Tell us a tale of hilarious misadventure, roadside breakdowns, amazing moose sightings - anything, so long as it's a story about vacation traveling. Write a story as long or short as you'd like (but please keep your epics less than 500 words) - we want to hear it!
