Do You Road Trip?
Posted by Arwen Mosher in Family on Tuesday, October 05, 2010
A while ago, we had a podcast chat about traveling with young children, and I mentioned that we’d yet to take a long road trip with our kids. When traveling more than half-a-day’s drive away, we always fly.
That’s about to change. On Thursday, we’re loading the car and driving to stay with Blaise’s godparents in Virginia, a ten-hour drive from here.
I’m excited for our vacation. I’m happy about all... READ MORE
Reads For The Road
Posted by Rebecca Teti in Reviews on Wednesday, June 23, 2010
Did I mention I love road trips? Can you tell we’ve just returned from one?
Another reason I love them is books on tape. I enjoy being read to as much as my children do, and it’s nice sometimes to listen and delight together—and without the limitation of having to stop when my throat gets tired.
The quality of narration can vary widely,however. Voices can be soporific or irritating to the point of... READ MORE
I'm Thinking of a Word…

I love road trips!
I know kids are not alike in their tolerance for being strapped down for long periods of time, but mine have always been great about it, even as infants and toddlers.
It’s uninterrupted family time.
You actually see the country.
You have wonderful conversations.
And, for the Teti family, there is “I’m Thinking of a Word.”
This is a game, which, so far as I know, was invented by... READ MORE
Great Grands

I’m posting this from Montgomery, Alabama, where I’ve been visiting my maternal grandmother.
After a pit stop in Atlanta to pick up two of four cousins located there, we headed even further into what I like to call “South” America.
(My road trips feel more exotic that way.)
This isn’t the most flattering photo of any of ‘em, but here’s my 93-yr-old Grandma with 6 of her 8 great-grand-kids. It’s... READ MORE
Have Kids, Will Travel

Reader Jenny sends along this question:
“My husband and I are taking a 2400 mile roundtrip roadtrip for 14 days. We are looking for ideas of how to keep 5 kids entertained in the car, good Catholic points of interest that are not widely known about, local shrines, etc. that people have experienced on their own roadtrips.
We are specifically traveling from WI to FL and back via a different route. ... READ MORE
Are We There YET?
Posted by Mary Ellen Barrett in Features on Thursday, July 10, 2008
A friend of mine recently confided in me that she felt completely overwhelmed by the thought of an upcoming family vacation with her small children.
It would be a beach vacation, she told me, and she predicted that her days would consist of packing up the little ones, trekking them to the beach, and counting heads while they were there. All day, every day, she would fight sunburn, bug bites, trips... READ MORE
