I love having a set with me if I know I will be traveling at night. Not necessarily to sleep with, but to keep just my legs warm without roasting the rest of the car. And sometimes the pillow can help with my lower back or use it as a cushion for my ...

Road trips I do yearly
While I love trying new places, there are some places that I visit every year and some places are multiple times a year. Some I do solo, while most of the time it's me and my three youngest kids who are all ten years and older. Here's some of my favo...
Hershey Park is always a great time! We like to get multi-day passes and go two or three days in a row. We try to plan one day for just the water park alone. If we are going three days straight the third day is split between water park and rides. And...
Hersheypark
This is so much more than a playground! This outdoor rec area has zip lines, outdoor instruments that anyone can play, and swings for people of all ages. This playground was built to allow those with special needs or limited abilities to enjoy a fun ... Myrtle Beach area, this is one place to don't want to miss.

Ocean city is another yearly road trip for us. I've been going here since I was a young kid myself, and I enjoy taking my kids and going down memory lane! I don't think Thrasher's Boardwalk Fries will ever go out of business!

favorite stores along the way
While this part of the list is basically my favorite quick stops when out on the road, I couldn't help putting Sonic in there because it's an overall family favorite. Since we don't have one local yet, we make sure to stop at one when we are on our r...
Wawa is a lot like Sheetz, but the food options a just a bit different. Another difference is that most Sheetz has a seating area where you can enjoy your food instead of eating and driving. And while Sheetz is mainly in the mid-atlantic area, Wawa s...

My youngest insists that the 7 Eleven hot dog is better than the Sheetz dog, but I disagree. Sheetz has more options for toppings and has a different variety of food. And it seems to me that 7 Eleven is making a comeback in business and doing better ...

Royal Farms is just beginning to grow in our area over the past few years and we really like their unique style. Their hot food menu is different from other stores and we love them for that! Their stores are always clean and offer a variety of snacks...
Royal Farms
We don't have a sonic in our area, so this one is definitely one we like to stop at when we are out of town. The experience of ordering from a parking spot and having food delivered to you makes my kids think they are royalty. Not to mention that the...
Sonic Drive-In
Hands down my favorite convenience store! We only have a few options in our town, but there are Sheetz everywhere. I like their “Made To Order” menu, and their drink variety and great prices. You can bring in a cup from home no matter what size, and ...

I've been starting to travel more over the last couple of years, but there's still more that I want to see. Here's just a few.
Yes, I know it's corny, but I fell in love with song from Train and being someone who loves to see nature's beauty, this is one place I can't leave off my list. I see me going there in the next year or so, just haven't planned it out yet.
Visit Half Moon Bay
There's a few reasons why I want to go to France. First, I took french classes all four years in high school and loved it! I can still butcher the pledge of allegiance in french and remember a lot of the basics from thirty years ago. Secondly, after ...

Tasmania is another place I'm very much looking forward to going to. Hopefully sooner rather than later, but I still haven't decided if this is a place I want to visit with or without my kids the first time I go. And yes I said first time as if I alr...
