Growing up as one of eight kids, I learned a few things about traveling with family. Trips for us meant piling into our 12-passenger van for cross-country road trips. It took a lot of coordination, patience, and planning to travel with that many people.
Fortunately, my parents found adventures and places that we all enjoyed and could afford—and our family still likes to travel together today. These days, there are three generations involved, so travel still requires coordination. We need to find places and activities that work for the littlest grandkids on up to my 78-year-old parents.
