The trip from Vancouver to Ontario could be done in 3 days straight. Good thing Dad was a coffee addict or he would never stop the car. <br /><br />Luckily I grew up pretty much an only child with my siblings being so much older, so bickering was never a problem. I don't ever remember playing games like I Spy with my parents, so whatever did I do to keep myself amused? I think I slept a lot and Mom always had the music going.<br /><br />Thanks for linking up!Shelly - Tropical Mumhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00464868349672755774noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-968059214758329257.post-1342440361933978752012-03-01T22:58:10.164-05:002012-03-01T22:58:10.164-05:00We drove 3 hours to MD.

However, my other 2 siblings did deserve a good smack. MB was torture. Touching you, Im Not touching you, farting, sprawling all over the back. Wet willies, taunting faces. OMG she was torture. You saying don't make me pull this car over.Matthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11369804112787506913noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-968059214758329257.post-18430767370027886682012-03-01T13:34:00.740-05:002012-03-01T13:34:00.740-05:00Your parents did it and you all enjoyed it because...Your parents did it and you all enjoyed it because there were no other options. Things were a lot different then and even in the past 5-10 years. I would love to drive across country in the coupe with my kids.

Although it was one of my father's dream to drive us all (4 children) from New England to California it never did happen. But we did have rather tortuous trips from northern Vermont to New Jersey down a very windy old road -- no 4 lane highways till we got to Connecticut. And lots of car sickness too. Many years later, in the 80's, my parents did make that drive -- no kids, air conditioning made it far more enjoyable, I am sure!The Broadhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04976467218216864644noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-968059214758329257.post-44447829783770384512012-03-01T10:07:53.819-05:002012-03-01T10:07:53.819-05:00Hey, I saw the English version of a woody last wee...Hey, I saw the English version of a woody last weekend (although they are Morris travellers rather than station waggons) - I remember travelling from Scotland to Devon when I was young primarilly because one of my sisters threw up in the hood of the coat another sister was wearing just as we were leaving and although it was cleaned up the smell of puke stayed with us the whole way!Sarahhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04402703967636964187noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-968059214758329257.post-6391869074973326642012-03-01T09:44:50.642-05:002012-03-01T09:44:50.642-05:00You got that right Cranky.

I have an upcoming trip planned with my two year old and I am freakin out just thinking about all the shit I am going to have to cart with me in order to keep her quite so the passengers won't want to kill me.
