...Don't you just love road trips with kids? :-)<br /><br />My road trip memories always involve me sitting in the back seat of a sedan of some sort, perched on the hump in the middle between my mom and her sister/BFF/whoever else was traveling with us. Dad and my uncle/his BFF/whoever else was traveling with us took turns driving. A Marty Robbins 8-track played continuously as we drove cross-country and back for three solid weeks.<br /><br />Oh, did I mention that we were on the road by 8 every morning? And covered at least 500 miles EVERY DAY? And that we always took backroad detours because daddy wanted to avoid the big cities?<br /><br />And the smoke. Everyone was a smoker then and a lovely white fog constantly filled the interior.<br /><br />And I was the only occupant under 50 years of age.<br /><br />Yep - smoke, Marty Robbins and old people. Good times, good times...:-)Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08304258552185464265noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3736122013539663895.post-51064881522641386812009-07-29T12:11:41.916-07:002009-07-29T12:11:41.916-07:00Ah...memories of road trips in the 70's and 80...Ah...memories of road trips in the 70's and 80's.... sticky vinyl car seats, coloring books, 100 rounds of Old McDonald and the Alphabet Song with my sister, and fried chicken in the cooler.

Our family traveled a LOT when we were younger, moving across the country every couple of years. I don't remember ever having snacks.<br /><br />And I just remembered a song my sisters and I made up once when going to visit our grandparents... (this is for Erica's comment)<br /><br />It was Christmas time... to the tune of Jingle Bells:<br /><br />Driving in our car, in our Chevrolet<br />over the hills we go, laughing all the way (ha ha ha)<br />Tires on our car slide <br />Right into a tree<br />Oh what fun it is to drive when it's so slippery!<br /><br />Oh drive our car, drive our car<br />Through the snow and ice<br />Oh what fun it is to drive when the weather isn't nice<br />Drive our car, drive our car<br />Through the snow and ice<br />Oh what fun it is to drive when the weather isn't nice!<br /><br />Have fun! I'm sure you'll come up with a good song for the drive home. Your boys may cringe, but you and Scott can have fun with it!jennyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11122936423129537247noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3736122013539663895.post-71791640480189403052009-07-28T17:56:48.572-07:002009-07-28T17:56:48.572-07:00Have a fun trip!!Have a fun trip!!Pennyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16791257181990955117noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3736122013539663895.post-45881399096358004082009-07-28T17:14:49.703-07:002009-07-28T17:14:49.703-07:00Ok, just got your email.
