Kids and Travel
I traveled countless hours to ski mountains with my three kids. We played a million games (word games, geography games, math games, etc..) and, since my wife does not ski and never went along, each kid took turns at "shot-gun" to help keep Dad alert. Kids love "responsibility" and that was a big one. My youngest is now 21 and a college grad. She and I got a chance to take a couple of trips together last season (its nice to share the driving!) and she told me: "The best memories of the many ski trips we took together centered on the extended time we spent together on the long drives." How about that? BTW, my kids were fantastic travelers from the get-go. They worked together to secure and move gear, and were fantastic at airports when we had to deal with travel snags. Sometimes we could barely get to sleep in motel rooms, because we couldn't stop laughing at some silliness and despite my demands to "let's quiet down now" someone would giggle or snort and we would all break up again. I really miss those days!
