We also laughed at the memories of three young kids in the car – all in car seats – and the creative ways we used to entertain them. This is twelve years ago, and not everyone had all the electronic gadgets. Instead we played “I Spy”, or who could find a license plate of an out-of-state car, and the name game. Those times were so special and the car time was a family time together.

Now it was not all perfect harmony, of course – there were the moments of meltdowns, and arguments over what music to have on, but it was all part of the vacation experience. The new Family Road Trip Box of Questions provides that experience for any family today. We are going to do a road trip with our kids to a national park, and I am going to ban the electronics from the car. That way the drive is part of the family experience and it can be a lot of fun!

Hope you all have great summer vacations. Please share any stories you have about your family car trips and ways you make it fun. Have fun this summer with your family and friends!
