This is the view at the rest stop on Donner Pass. When I say the car was a tight fit, I’m not exaggerating. My 13-year-old son is quickly approaching 6 feet and my girls, while not incredibly tall, are on the taller side of average. In case you didn’t know, my husband stands 6 foot 4 inches. The kids and hubby were happy to oblige as the RAV4 was a tight fit and everyone needed to stretch their legs. It had been a number of years since we all drove through this area and I wanted to get out and take pictures. But we wanted a family adventure, so we packed up my husband’s company vehicle (a Toyota RAV4) and headed east. Space was at a premium on this trip, especially leg room. They are much better at keeping themselves entertained (smart phones, books, naps, poking their siblings). You no longer have to pack all those baby things. Getting ready for a family road trip with older kids is much less stressful. It’s easier now that the kids are mostly grown, but it still takes preparation and a good attitude. My husband had a professional conference in Salt Lake City and it was the only opportunity for all of us to take a trip together this summer. My family took a road trip in late June from California to Salt Lake City, Utah. Do the words “family road trip” scare you? It really doesn’t have to be scary.
