Travel with Kids

Am I the only one who looks forward to a camping trip with my kids, only to find myself wondering ‘what what I was thinking’ by the time the second day rolls around? No matter where you’re heading, children aren’t always the best of travellers. The heat makes them cranky, it seems like they need a bathroom break every few miles, and they’re always hungry. Ah, the joys of parenting… but all well-worth it, of course.

Do you check weather forecast before you hit the road? You should.

One time in the summer we were driving in our Jeep Cherokee from Toronto to Red Bay on Bruce Peninsula. Under normal conditions it is about a 3.5 hour drive on a Friday night (we used to go away each weekend right after work). About half way through our trip a heavy storm started.
