I drove my kids 14 hours each way to see the eclipse. On the first stop I said "Okay, we go in, go to the bathroom, grab chips, candy, and a soda, and we're back in the car in five minutes."
They were absolute troopers. We stopped maybe three times and each time they did exactly as asked.
Then we decided to drive to Disney with my wife and mother-in-law. The first time we stopped for a break it was at a Cracker Barrel, and they wanted to have a sit-down meal and do some shopping less than three hours into a 12 hour drive.
My kids looked at me in confusion. My oldest said "Dad, doesn't mom know how to take a road trip?!"
Fuck this post has me so torn. On one hand I 100% support road tripping and long drives.... gruelling even, but otoh....cracker barrel. If there's only one on the route. You kinda have to stop. Shopping is a no no tho. Dessert is right out.
If you have a mini van, getting to go is totally acceptable.
Not allowed in a sedan. Don't ask me why. You know why. Extra napkins.
Idk about cb to go...but fair if it's within first 3 hr
