I read a book called "The 3-Martini Family Vacation" which is all about travelling with kids, and it helped me realize not to expect perfection from a family vacation, and that travelling with kids is possibleAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4712837914446733479.post-12776681148286331192012-04-26T18:25:58.973-06:002012-04-26T18:25:58.973-06:00awww, now this is so cute! what a dear happy famil...awww, now this is so cute! what a dear happy family, making such pleasant memories together.

It was a "hold your breath" event as my in-laws were in the car with us as well. It went splendid. Maybe I was shocked because I remember being bored to tears when I was a kid sitting in the waaaaaay back of the station wagon (facing backward). We borrowed a friend's DVD player and, like you, I was hoping to not use it. My 6 year old watched a movie on the way home because that part of the trip is just not as fun as the other. A couple of times, we stopped at a rest area and I chased him around for 10 minutes to get the wiggles out. I do wonder what the other motorists were thinking:). Thanks for sharing. As usual, I always find encouragement in what's on your mind.Jenny Rosiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04449146115720736209noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4712837914446733479.post-71848353449303586812012-04-26T13:51:15.432-06:002012-04-26T13:51:15.432-06:00Cailan, I am glad you put on your big girl panties...Cailan, I am glad you put on your big girl panties and tried the travel. I have such sweet memories of traveling with my 3. We lived about 3 hours one way from my mother during my children's younger years, so I timed my travel when they were fresh in the morning or when they would be ready for a nap. She lived across the state line, so we always had the adventure of visiting both states' welcome centers,going and coming. They still remember getting little 4 oz. cups of Coke at the Mississippi Welcome Center! They seemed to always look forward to seeing Grammy but were equally glad for the return trip home.<br />May your adventures be sweet memories and good times!Susanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12996683270441131873noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4712837914446733479.post-23806439118951301892012-04-26T09:55:58.230-06:002012-04-26T09:55:58.230-06:00such happy traveling pics!

We made lots of road trips, so the children grew accustomed to entertaining themselves and each other with all kinds of activities and snacks, and this was before the days of watching dvd's in the car was even possible. I'm kind of glad that was not an option, but I understand why it is helpful. Those were great bonding times for our family, and they all love to travel!auntphttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00734297586761806420noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4712837914446733479.post-44200280039588733822012-04-26T06:17:04.917-06:002012-04-26T06:17:04.917-06:00i totally understand everything you're saying ...i totally understand everything you're saying here. a couple summers ago, we squeezed our eyes shut and went on our first long road trip, just waiting for it to be disasterous. is wasn't! we found out that our kids are AMAZING travelers!! it was a complete hallelujah moment! so now we drag them everywhere. i just flew back to sd with all three...alone! but it was fantastic. i'm glad it went well for y'all. drive to asheville next! :) also, i have that book and i like it, but it kinda overwhelms me. i completely love charlotte mason educating and have some other good book recommendations if you're interested. and that cd?? i want it! what a great idea! oh! and another thing?? do your kids like books on cd? if so i have some realllly good recommendations for those. super good for homeschoolers! :)<br /><br />xo,<br />aAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17444874559602612752noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4712837914446733479.post-74367587811904449082012-04-25T23:15:48.819-06:002012-04-25T23:15:48.819-06:00road trips are no joke. good job, mama. :)
