Road Trip! Who’s planning a family vacation this Summer?
Road trip may take new turns. As we slowly start to California, I wonder about how things will be different. I know our family will treasure traveling more! But I want to make sure we are being careful when we travel. And I mean careful, respectful, and responsible towards the environment. Here’s a great article I found on Visit California to help! I learned that there is a national organization, Leave No Trace, which promotes 7 principles of respect for nature and others while traveling.

Make room for snacks. A road trip isn’t a true road trip without car snacks. When the kids were smaller, it was easier for me that each would have their own small bag of snacks by their side. Now that they’re older, they can easily grab snacks from the ice chest.
Drive comfortably. This applies to fashion and function. Dress comfortably and remember this is a trip on the road. The journey is part of the vacation experience. Don’t rush the scene routes or speed to the next destination.
