Ah, Memories

I can still remember one of my family road trips from Texas to New York. It’s easy to recall the shouts of, “She’s touching me!” and my brother stealing my cassette tapes (#iamold) – that was basically every time we all piled into the back of a car.

But I can still remember the smell of a middle-of-nowhere Arkansas field at dusk.

The field wasn’t memorable, but I doubt I’ll ever forget the sight of hundreds of fireflies rising up at the same time. Every whine stopped. All bodies stilled. We were held in awe for 10-minutes while we watched this amazing display.

Family Travel

Whether it’s a road trip, a plane ride, or a combination of both, travel is an essential educational tool in my family’s wheelhouse. No matter the destination, the education we can provide our kids when traveling is some of the most valuable:

  • new cities, states, or countries
  • different cultures and social norms
  • learning about and accepting people from different areas, upbringings, etc.

But with young kids, you’re not going to hand them a Lonely Plant guide. We have to make it interesting and this fun state trivia road trip game fits the bill!
