My husband had an opportunity to go to DC on a private jet, but unfortunately, things didn’t pan out. It bites because SWHS would have loved the plane and DC is such a great place for anyone who loves history and politics. At any rate,e I started thinking about family time and how much I really wanted to take road trips with my family.
We never took road trips when I was growing up. We never traveled accross the US and there is so much of this country that I have not seen. My mom loved traveling. She made sure we went to Detroit (where much of my family still lives), and Disney World, Atlantic City, Canada and DC. I went to DC, Pennsylvania and Virgina on school trips. But, I did not see the bright lights of the Vegas hotels until I was 25. My husband’s family was completely different. The drove EVERYWHERE. He has been to Florida, Nebraska, South Dakota, Colorado, Massachusetts, Vermont, Jersey, Connecticut, Virgina, DC, Pennsylvania, Ohio and more.
I want my daughter to see what this country has to offer. I want her to experience the slow pace of the life outside of NEW YORK. But more importantly, I want to spend time with my family.
I’m open to suggestions. Where should our first road trip be?

Hi, MOTR! If I could choose one place to spend time with my kids, it would be at the ocean. There is something so awesome about that first time you see, smell, and hear it. I think about all the people that came over it to get here. I think about how deep it is, and all the creatures that live there. But, more importantly, it is a great, relaxing place to pay attention to family.

Your next trip should be coming to visit me in Dominican Republic… We have awesome beaches, really nice resorts, and you will be surprised with the prices!! Look for Bavaro or Punta Cana.

The most memorable road trip for me was a trip from Fairbanks, AK , where my father was stationed in the military, to Tampa, FL.
We went by Mt. Rushmore and it was the most amazing site I have ever seen.
Where ever you decide to go as a family will be memorable and exciting.
Happy travels
