My mom always taught us to "enjoy the journey" and that "the traveling is half the fun. don't be in such a rush to get there." Sounds like you follow that mantra as well.<br /><br />We also listen to books on tape. C.S. Lewis is always a favorite. And our kids love watching movies. The DVD player in our van has been a lifesaver with the older kiddos.Hannahhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01931656703800469915noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36513923.post-7884367785951876062010-07-21T08:01:45.728-06:002010-07-21T08:01:45.728-06:00We love road trips, too!
