We have always been beach/ pool kind of people and technically, we still are. But this year we wanted to add a few more road trips to our adventure list.
Mainly because we want to get the kids used to longer car rides so we can eventually drive down to Florida! EVENTUALLY.
So in the meantime, we are doing these short, close by day trips and slowly we will work our way up to an overnight trip. Possibly even a weekend getaway and add hours to their car riding experience.
Oh the things we do to make these kids comfortable and have fun. Starting with Madison, Wisconsin.
