Summer road trips 🚙

Looking forward to that trip with the kids this summer?

Yeah…about that!

A new poll found the average family will spend 23 hours in the car for all their summer road trips this year, hear the phrase “Are we there yet?” 16 times, “How much longer?” 18 times and “I’m tired!” 17 times!

You’ll also take 11 bathroom breaks, deal with 19 bouts of hunger, dole out 13 snacks and play 16 ‘car games’ to keep everyone entertained.

The most popular ones?

The “License Plate Game”, “I Spy” and “20 Questions”.

Despite that, 41% of us prefer driving over flying because it gives usmore “quality time” with our loved ones…and 77% of parents still enjoy them.

Time to fire up the Winnebago!
