My parents were never the type to sit at home because they had kids. They would pack the car, find a place between the luggage, and that's where I would sit. We've taken numerous road trips covering California to Georgia and everywhere in between. Our car started out as a suburban with a bench seat (you know the kind that is fully connected from side to side), but my parents quickly learned that one finger over the imaginary line could turn into World War III...we upgraded to individual bucket seats. I've been able to stand in four states at once, visit the Grand Canyon and ski a handful of mountains, all before I turned 10. Now am I saying I remember every aspect of every trip we went on? No. However, I have a million memories of "family bonding time" that I will never forget:
-My sister prefers to ski straight down the mountain rather than following the advice of wise ski instructors.
-My mom has an unbelievable talent for making reservations in a state that was never part of our itinerary, leaving us to spend a night in the car.
-My dad will never defeat Montezuma :)
-1 hr into the trip I assume my traditional sleeping position. ipod in...pillow in my lap...head back...mouth open...sister taking a few pics on her phone. gotta love it.
