Bridget got her learner’s permit a couple weeks ago, and with her first drive with an instructor coming up next week, it was time to head to the Monticello Middle School parking lot for some practice. We used the Chevy Impala since the Hyundai Sonata was elsewhere. This drive was just steering and braking … it was “boring” according to Bridget, who wants to get out on the road and go fast.

Bridget is taking an on-line driver’s ed course through Aloha Driving Schools, which has a branch in Kelso - she has a Zoom class 3 days a week for 5 weeks, along with 6 instructional drives.
