Am I depriving my kids by not giving them the road trips I had growing up? tgamtravel
From the back seat of the big station wagon, I could see my father’s angry expression in the rear-view mirror. He didn’t get angry often, so when he did, it was best to take him seriously. Family legend has it he once left my sister on the side of the highway and didn’t turn back until he’d gotten about 100 feet down the road. My brother and I had been fighting, but now I nudged him, pointed my chin at the rear-view mirror and we both settled down, silent.
And the organizing. The itineraries took us from east coast to west, from north to south. We went across the Prairies, through B.C., down to Houston, Dallas, New Orleans, Wyoming, the Wisconsin Dells, both Carolinas – the list goes on and on. In between conventions, we’d often camp. Jackson Hole is a tiny town surrounded by mountains with a population less than 11,000. It was impossible to get lost, but my mother did. For hours. Because even though we were staying at a motel called the Pony Express, she wandered around town asking everyone for directions to the Crazy Horse.
