At the end of the day, your kids care more about just having those special moments with you than they do about where you spend them. It's important to remember that you can create a fun environment just about anywhere as long as you get a little creative and use your imagination.

There were many things that we could have done differently to make the trip itself a lot more comfortable and we definitely learned a few things about planning for road trips in the future. First and foremost, we should have come up with a much better plan for having our meals.
