Any 10-year-old can plan a trip, right?
Last week, our middle son tried to hit the road by himself. He didn’t make it very far. In episode two of our Away is Home family travel blog series, his big brother explains that it takes more to plan a trip. And he takes him everywhere while trying to explain it.

The adventure begins …
It’s been five weeks since we returned to the mainland from Hawaii and the kids are getting a little antsy. Family travel may be an addiction.
Here’s what happens when the kids go stir crazy. It’s episode one of our adventure. I hope you’ll follow along by signing up for the Away is Home channel and tuning for the next episode on Friday.
What will happen next? I’ll give you a clue: Our son Iden didn’t get very far.
Oh, and there were no cats in the bag in the final scene.

And now, a few words from the kids …
Greetings from Chattanooga, Tenn., our first stopover on our month-long road trip out to Oregon.
We spent yesterday packing, cleaning the house, and making this video (above) about how we pulled everything together. Aren narrates.
And today after we checked in at the Holiday Inn Express, Iden shared his road trip “rules.” We’re still laughing!
I hope you have as much fun watching these videos as we did making them.
Remember, you can always follow our family travel adventure at Away is Home.
Safe travels!
