Road Trips for Families is brought to you by real families who love to take road trips. Every chance we get, we load up and find somewhere to go.

Sheri Wallace, Editor
As a kid, I didn’t really think about a road trip being anything special, it was just how we got around. No iPods, no games, just fights with siblings in the back seat and seeing America. I think our family visited at least 30 states before I graduated from elementary school. At some point I realized that not everyone had a family that loved to travel, but it’s always been something that stuck with me. Our family is ready to go anywhere with very little excuse. Always looking for the scenic route, we’ve frustrated more than a couple of fellow travelers who travel by the more direct school of thinking.

Our trips range from leisurely wanderings around an area, looking for the places only a local know to extreme 3,000 mile journeys in less than a week. Now that my daughter is in school, it takes a little more planning but we hit the road every summer.  My biggest goal right now is to plan a year-long road trip around North America. My secret obession? Vintage campers.

Julie Henning, Feed Me and Geocaching
A mom of three, the standard kid’s menu has me burnt out on eating out. Dining with kids isn’t easy. You need convenience, clean bathrooms, and a place to burn off energy—not to mention prices that don’t break your travel budget on the first day. Join me as we venture a little off the beaten path to find some unique, family-friendly restaurants that feed your appetite and your sense of adventure.

New to our list of road trip activities is geocaching. Barely above muggle status, we stumble through the woods in search for buried treasure and the occasional geocoin. Follow the Geocaching column as we unearth places, programs, and ways to participate in the nation’s high-tech treasure hunt. Wisconsin is our home-base; we love the many family-friendly venues this friendly state has to offer. Whether you’re a resident or planning your first trip to the Dairy State, consider the Milwaukee Loves Kids and Madison Loves Kids iPhone applications. And don’t forget cheese curds, frozen custard, and the famous State Fair cream puff!

The Milukas Family – Guest Blog
In 2004 our family of 5 “chucked-it-all” and headed out to explore America with a 33′ fifth wheel camper!  We spent 18 incredible months on the road: exploring, learning, adventuring and growing closer and closer as a family.  We covered over 40,000 miles from our old home in New England to the Florida Keys, across the Heartland and desert, and from California to the Arctic Circle in Alaska!

Road tripping means more to us than what we’re seeing or where we are hanging our hat: it is about family togetherness and time spent creating Lifetime memories!  Come share the adventure at www.FamilyTourUSA.com
