We are a family of 5 who travels together several times a year, but not always to destinations far, far away. Most of our trips have been to places within 2/3 hours of our home so as not to have the biggest memory of our trip be the travel. We took a big step a few summers ago by embarking on a 5-hour journey to Williamsburg, VA for a weeklong vacation, and thankfully it was a huge success. Since then, we have also done a 7 hour trip to Cape Cod and another 7 hour trip to Vermont as well as two trips that required longer plane rides (which can be a challenge with a child who gets motion sickness). Our memories so far are good ones, and it has been fun to see more and more places in our region of the country, so who can ask for more than that?
