Sandy recalls her family’s driving vacations when she was a little girl and how her parents would stop frequently in little towns along the way. Small towns seemed to always have a clean, well-groomed park in the center of town. This stop would allow the family to enjoy bathroom breaks and the children to burn off excess energy on the playground. Similarly, I remember my family unloading my tricycle from the car at each stop and encouraging me to ride circles around the rest stop for the same purpose. These stops rescued our families from four-alarm travel meltdowns. Our nine day northeast trip was scheduled with three travel days departing, three days at our destination and three days returning. Each travel day was supposed to cover about 300 miles, so we planned frequent sight-seeing stops to keep everyone smiling and happy.
