When road trips turn sour how do you make the most of them? We discuss vacation memories of our youth and how to handle those tough, tricky moments. Also from firefly trees in Thailand, to the Neuschwanstein castle, the Badlands to the beautiful garden isle of Kauai we share the most amazing places we’ve been. Lastly we discuss the best and worst things about being an American, and the delicate balance of supporting your kids in their activities (especially when they stop an activity you love or chose one you don’t).
