She is gearing up to pack the car and head to Michigan for a week of vacation. They will be taking their canoe and a john boat. We said that so many kids today are used to having a dvd player in the car that they are not used to looking out the window. Parts of our discussion were echoed by Rebecca in her post Enjoy the Ride. [...] [...] I was talking to a friend last evening and we agreed that traveling with children is different than when our children were young.

It is sad. My friend and I were just discussing last night how some kids miss the scenery and playing games because of the dvd’s they watch on trips. It is sad.

Thanks for visiting. Yep, I think there is a growing movement of "quality" time with the family. And that usually means doing absolutely nothing together. I rather like it. :) Hey minnemom!

While my four children are younger than yours (ages 2-7), we try to find off-the-beaten-path places to visit, and to enjoy the ride as well. Music and stories on tape get us through tough times, but being in the car together gives us an excellent opportunity to talk to each other without the usual distractions of life. Your comment about the scenic route really hits close to home. Having grown up in a family that took "Sunday drives" (mostly to check crops along the way for my farmer dad), I find myself never wanting to go on the same road twice. There's always something interesting to be found on the back roads. I just found your blog, and I echo a lot of your sentiments.
