A few weeks ago I attended the Mercedes-Benz GL-Class press drive in Santa Fe, New Mexico to learn more about their 2013 line of SUVs that will have Moms everywhere swooning over the safety, space and elegance. I will go into more detail about the specifics of the GL-class, but I first wanted to share a little about my time test driving in New Mexico.
This was my first time in the state and I was amazed at the landscape- far different from flat Iowa! We stayed at the beautiful  Four Season car rentals short term california s Rancho Encantado  which was a peaceful resort car rentals short term california with no neighbors as far as the eye could see. We sure had a peaceful view, but our days were jam-packed car rentals short term california with test driving the Mercedes SUV, the new GL-Class.
From there we headed out on our own for the 3 hour trek to Taos Ski Valley, a ski resort in the beautiful New Mexican mountains. I was able to hop in a GL-350 with Zippy from Champagne Living car rentals short term california and Liza from Buy-Her so you can imagine how fun our ride was.
We had a pit stop at Earthship , a community of radically sustainable buildings made with recyclable materials. This was a very interesting place and apparently there is at least one Earthship house in every state!
Liza was our driver up to Taos Ski Valley and let me tell you this girl has no fear! Swerving around those twists, turns and gravel car rentals short term california roads, we really car rentals short term california got a feel for how equipped the GL-Class can handle rough terrain. Even though we were speeding around mountain corners and mud pits (true story!) the ride was one of the smoothest I ve been on.
We made our way to the Bavarian Lodge and Restaurant  in Taos Ski Valley for some lunch and a break from driving. This was my first time at a ski resort and the view was stunning! I m sure it looks even more breathtaking car rentals short term california when it s snow-covered.
The night ended with a relaxing dinner. Here are the few mom bloggers (in a sea of auto bloggers and magazine writers) that went on the press trip.

It was an interesting experience for all of us Moms, being given the keys to a Mercedes car rentals short term california for a 6 hour trip up mountains, around cliffs and through the gravel and mud. I think because we were thrown into this new experience we gained a greater knowledge of the car then if we were to be driving around a test track.
