Epic Road Trip for Kids Spring Break

[lostchild]

8, 6, and 4? Scrap that ghey educational crap and spend that week in Orlando.
Disney, Universal, MGM, hotels and pools.
They’ll remember that forever, and you’ll be best dad in the world to them.
% educational shipp at those ages.

Here’s an alternative to having set destinations ,

When I was a kid , we had a motorhome and the week after Christmas every year we would take a road trip .

The rule was no four lanes or interstates ,
Two lanes only and dirt roads were allowed .

And each kid got to pick the directions.
At every stop sign or traffic light ,
My dad would turn around and ask whichever kid was up next , “which way ?”

We would just randomly drive around for a week .

I have also done the blue ridge parkway.
We had four days to get from Atlanta to New Jersey .
And anytime we saw something interesting, we’d just stop and visit .

One of the few experiences I had with my father before he passed was a work trip for his disguised as a road trip. He had me for the week and I had a huge fear of flying, so we drove to Indiana for a work meeting he had to attend, then we drove to Stroudsburg, PA to see my grandparents (his parents), then south to DC for a night. Just being in his company was enough, neither one of us talked a lot while travelling. I was 7 years old and died a couple years later. Just enjoy the trip.

Gas prices are so low I decided to take my 3 young kids on a road trip next week for Spring Break.

ATL all the way to Burlington, VT and back over 7 days.

Places we plan to visit
-the Caverns in Shannondoah Valley
-the Capital in DC
-a friends farm in Upstate NY (stony point)
-A Picture of Nectar, maple Syrup farm, Ben and Jerry’s in VT
-Salem, Mass
-the Liberty Bell in Philly
-a friends house in Morganton, NC

A lot of driving. Trying to save money by crashing a friends places and doing some tent camping.

I also have a road atlas and plan for my oldest to map the trip using a traditional road map like when I was a kid in the back of the station wagon, but they will have to wear seatbelts.

Any suggestions on place to visit?

Go way upstate. Go to Watertown and go to jeans beans. Best donuts you'll ever have and their fish fry is unforgettable.

Due to my diet and getting "ripped" - I am taking the best poops of my life and my hemorrhoids are gone. Seriously - the regularity, consistency, and overall length coming out of my butt wonderful. All time best.

You eat tons of protein and cut out the processed grains like breads and pasta, your poops will be on point too.

Please tell me you have a squatty potty? That thing changed my life forever...

Some random and not-very-exciting options:

VT - I'd say go out on a sailboat on Lake Champlain if it were July. Visit a dairy maybe if you can find one that is open, but I'm not sure you'll have luck before May. It's going to be cold. Burlington is not a big place. It's basically a little town square area and a university sloping down to the lake.

Consider skipping DC due to time constraints. You could spend the whole time there or in the area. But you know that already.

Harpers Ferry, WV, might be a good stop along the way if the weather is good and you want to walk up the trail over the town. Might be a lot for a little kid. I'm not sure.

Gettysburg? You can drive most of it and, if the weather's nice, plenty of places to walk around. Amish market in Hagerstown, MD, is pretty cool but I think it's only open a couple days a week. They're about an hour apart.

This.

The Burlington, VT/ Ticonderoga, NY area is a wonderful place to visit but you’re 5 weeks early.

When you get to Philly and see the liberty bell and independence hall , you will see in vivid color just how dead this great experiment is. If our leadership cares so little to the main root of the tree, how can we ever think that they have any regard for the fruit, or the leaves or the seedlings?

The spillover of fentanyl and heroin is right there, with in feet of these monuments to freedom, with their hands out expecting you to further their continued parasytic consumption amd decay.

Just wait, and keep your kids close.

So true.

reklawd , head for real on a swivel with help in Philadelphia.

I used to think The City of Brotherly Love was a version of Love Thy Neighbor, but I was dead wrong.

It’s A “Flaming” type of place.

The only cool thing I saw in Philly, well two cool things but one was actually cool ( I'll explain that) is the oldest contually inhabited street in America. I forget the name, but it's within walking distance of independence hall, the homes have been lived in since the 1700s.

The other kinda cool thing was just north of UPENN, there is literally block difference between well to do honoies jogging with their dogs and the hood. On the hood side, a pimp parked his gold lexus on 24s in the middle of the street with all windows down. Knowing nobody was gonna fxck with his whip. I mean, in the inside lane like that block is his parking space wherever the fxck he says it is. There was some respect about it. He was king of that hood.

This is real.

They want to go to Philly because a couple of their best friends in school are from there. I don't want to go. Screw Philly

Philly can't be as bad as Oakland? Gangster dealing drugs in the middle of the street after getting feed and clothed by the do-good Berkeley liberals.

It’s worse because The gangsters have a really high chance of being switch hitters.
