During COVID, have you been wondering what car is perfect for a family road trip?
We took a 2021 Genesis G80 3.5T Prestige (Black Forest / Beige) to Death Valley. Two adults, a teen and a tween and we absolutely loved the G80. Thank goodness for the car navigation system as we had no cell service in the park.
It drives like a dream and we loved the special features like the camera that shows the turn lanes as well as the massage seat for the driver. The overhead camera view when parking was another favorite feature as well as the heated steering wheel in the morning. The wireless charging was also very useful.
The kids loved that they could control their own air conditioning, had their own charging ports and that their seats had a comfortable incline. Eva and Alessio thought the car was very stylish with plenty of space. The sunscreens on the back window and the sunroof were other favorite features.
We give this car our highest rating! Thank you Genesis!
Israel’s Memorial Day begins at sundown on April 21, followed immediately by Independence Day. For those who have experienced it, the contrast is mesmerizing.
Parenting in times of conflict is never simple. But it is also an opportunity to raise thoughtful, compassionate, and courageous children with a strong moral compass.
A year ago, in April 2025, I was honored as the descendent of Holocaust survivors by State Senator Susan Rubio (D-West Covina) at the California State Capitol. This is the story of that moment.
Kupershtein endured extreme hunger, inhumane conditions and constant psychological torment. Yet even in those depths, he fought daily to preserve his humanity.
Kudrow’s connection to comedy runs deeper than her Hollywood career. As the granddaughter of Holocaust survivors, she grew up in a family where humor wasn’t just entertainment — it was a way to cope.
While the documentary succeeds in showing the band’s power and chemistry, and is full of energy, one is left wondering what would have happened if Slovak lived.
