Pin it to spread the word all about our crazy Big Trips!

For 13 years I have driven my minivan full of children across the United States in our annual Big Trip summer road trip. Highways and back roads alike, looping our way around America, seeing everything we can each year. Listen to my interview with This Indulgent Life to hear my secrets, successes, and failures of family road trip travels that have been gathered on the road.

    1. It was so great! I had so much fun talking to you and now I have a new friend. 🙂 Did you notice the picture of the potato chips up above? haha

  2. I loved your interview! You are such a good storyteller and shared some great tips. Its neat to listen to podcasts because I feel like I just had a conversation with you and am excited to keep hearing more!

  3. I just discovered your blog and can’t wait to listen to the podcast. My husband and I are empty-nesters but like to travel with our nephews and niece (ages 16, 14, and 7). We like to give them experiences rather than just more stuff.

  4. I loved reminiscing with the old pictures and seeing the kids soooo little and adorable 🙂 Glad I could occasionally be a part of your adventure

    1. Thanks for listening. 🙂 We always love to visit you when our route works out that way! Thanks for letting us borrow your couches and guest bed.
