TUESDAY COFFEE CHAT

 

Happy Tuesday all!   Welcome to Coffee Chat with Les at Time out for Mom.

 

 

Road Trip!!

Where are you going?
You can take 3 people....who are they, and what are their responsibilities on the trip.

I love road trips. Getting in the car and travelling through Canada and the US is amazing.  I actually prefer cars to airplanes. Of course if we could take a boat that would be better however this a road trip not a sea cruise.

D H and I actually had a wonderful road trip last fall. We took our daughter C and my sister B. Poor hubby was the lone man standing. He took his role very seriously and guided us safely to and from our destination. We went to visit our daughter H and her family.

Since we have done this trip often, we followed the usual route. It was great to get a different perspective on the same places. One of the favourite spots proved to be our Rest Stops. The rule is that everyone breaks at the same time whether there is a need to go or not. The big draw was the hand dryers. Some won hands down while others left us hanging.

When we arrived at our destination, C and B stayed with H while D H and I tried out a long stay motel down the way from H. The room was basic however it gad a TV and a shower. We could make our breakfast very morning and the cleaned the place once a week.

We shopped and toured and played at the beach. Everyone had a great time and we look forward to doing it again.

Sounds very nice.
we used to drive all the way to Thunder Bay from our town (near Ottawa) and with the 3 kids - boy, that was a trip! let me tell you.
But, my favourite part was the we used to stop at all the same rest spots each year. we knew which chip wagon made the best fries, what picnic area had the best beach, what gas stations the cleanest bathrooms. It was nice to revisit each year.
Unfortunately gas prices didn't say the same each year :(
