Family Vacations 2008 5 kids and the dog in a car for days. That may sound like your worst nightmare but it became one of our best family “vacations”. It was actually intended to be the way we got to the vacation but it turned out being the favorite part. Airfares were so high that we decided to drive from Connecticut to Texas. We rented a minivan. I recommend the Town and Country Flex fuel which got 21 mpg. We hit 11 states and numerous sites including the World’s Largest Guitar, Dollywood, Appomattox, Vicksburg, and more. Sadly, we missed the gravesite of Shorty the Squirrel. (www.roadsideamerica.com has the strangest sites listed) We did not let the kids bring any electronic device which meant…..they had to talk, play cards or play board games. Shockingly, they came through it alive!! In fact, the kids loved it so much they want to do it again. They say the drive to the vacation was the best part! |
