Family Travel On The Road #RestComesEasy
This is a sponsored post written by me on behalf of Country Inns & Suites By Carlson. All opinions are 100% mine.
I don’t get to go on trips too often, so when I have a family travel trip planned that includes my toddler, I get pretty excited.
Actually, on top of the excitement, I tend to go a little overboard when it comes to planning. We have an upcoming road trip with a 15+ hour drive ahead of us and I have already started a packing list, a shopping list and a hotel list. Did I forget to mention that this family travel vacation is in August?
Like I said, I tend to go a little overboard.
We sometimes travel by vehicle, and I’m sure some of you are curious as to why we would do that with a temperamental toddler on a fun family trip?
Sometimes the journey of getting to your destination is what makes the trip.
It’s the little moments that make memories: like the time my son randomly busted out in a dance that caught both my husband and I by surprise (which ended with us erupting in laughter), or when a mama grizzly and her two cubs were suddenly foraging beside our truck.
Priceless.
After a long day of pit stops and car seat dance parties, it’s comforting to arrive somewhere to relax at night after a long day of travel (and put away our dancing shoes).

Is that work are in your suite? If so that’s sweet, I would love to stay in a place like that.
My kids are also just as excited about the journey as they are about the destination!
I love taking trips with my kids! Recently we drive 5 hours to see my sister. Singing at the top of our lungs and dance parties were definately part of the trip!
Taking family trips is insanely fun, I try to make sure it isn’t too long a drive though since it can get quite tiresome on the young ones!
All of our bigger road trips are 14 hours, we live that far away from anything good haha. Usually it’s just a 3 hour trip to grandma’s.
Now that my kids are a little older, I’m hoping to take a real vacation this year too. I agree, making the journey part of the fun and planning lots of stops for the kids to rest and recharge is super important.
