It is that time of the year – summer vacation travel will be at a peak soon. Everyone getting those last minute long weekend trips before we lose the wonderful feel of summer. I am sure this year many more people are staying closer to home. Fuel costs are high, but not so much sometimes when compared to the price of airline tickets for a family.
Taking a road trip can be fun. It encourages family participation in activities like eating meals together, finding other things in common besides the TV or computer, and conversation – Oh the lost art – maybe a family trip can change that? Read the rest of this entry »
