IT’S SAFE TO SAY THAT YOU COULD USE A VACATION IN THE NOT-SO-DISTANT FUTURE.
PERHAPS A BEACH-SIDE ESCAPE FILLED WITH SANDCASTLES, SUNSCREEN, BASKETS OF
BOARDWALK FRENCH FRIES, AND SMALL HANDS COVERED IN MELTED ICE CREAM. OR MAYBE A
ROAD TRIP WHERE YOU CRUISE FROM THE ST. LOUIS’ GATEWAY ARCH TO SOUTH DAKOTA’S
BADLANDS, ENJOYING PLENTY OF TIME AT HOTEL POOLS ALONG THE WAY.
SOUNDS LIKE BLISS, RIGHT? BUT BEFORE YOU GET TO THE FUN PART, YOU MUST PLAN THE
VACATION WITH YOUR PARTNER. THAT ENTAILS DECISIONS, COMPETING EXPECTATIONS, AND
CONSTRAINTS YOU PROBABLY DIDN’T SEE COMING. IF YOU’RE NOT CAREFUL, PLANNING A
FAMILY GETAWAY CAN BECOME ANOTHER SOURCE OF THE STRESS YOU’RE TRYING TO ESCAPE.

TIPS AND TRICKS
TWO CLASSIC CROSS COUNTRY ROAD TRIPS EVERY FAMILY SHOULD TAKE
1. ROUTE 66
THE AMERICAN CLASSIC. IT’S BEEN NAME-CHECKED IN SONG TITLES, MOVIES, AND A
VINTAGE TV SHOW. IT RAN SOME 2,500 MILES FROM CHICAGO TO LOS ANGELES, AND THE
CURRENT VERSION STILL UNROLLS LIKE A WIDESCREEN AMERICANA FRONTIER FROM CHICAGO
TO SANTA MONICA. SOME FANS SUGGEST DRIVING BETWEEN TWO MARQUEE
DESTINATIONS—FROM, SAY, ST. LOUIS’S GATEWAY ARCH TO UFO COUNTRY IN FLAGSTAFF,
ARIZONA — AND ANY STRETCH PROMISES QUIRKS, ADVENTURE, AND LIVING HISTORY. GIVE
YOURSELF A WEEK FOR THE WHOLE HOG — ACROSS THE MIDWEST, GREAT PLAINS, AND
SOUTHWEST—OR THREE DAYS FOR A SHORTER STRETCH.
2. THE MOUNT WASHINGTON AUTO ROAD
FEW STRETCHES OF HIGHWAY OFFER THE DRAMATIC, EVEN SLIGHTLY SCARY KIND OF DRIVE
THAT YOU’LL FIND ON THE HISTORIC MOUNT WASHINGTON AUTO ROAD. THIS 7.6-MILE
STRETCH WAS CARVED INTO NEW HAMPSHIRE’S WHITE MOUNTAINS IN THE MID-19THCENTURY
AND ITS NARROW ROADS, SOME WITHOUT GUARDRAILS, WILL LET YOU AND YOUR FAMILY
CLIMB 4,600 FEET TO THE HIGHEST PEAK IN IN THE NORTHEAST WITHOUT LEAVING YOUR
CAR. AT THE SUMMIT, ALONG WITH SPECTACULAR VIEWS, YOU’LL SEE CYCLISTS AND HIKERS
STOPPING AT THIS KEY POINT ON THE APPALACHIAN TRAIL. THE DRIVE MUST BE DONE IN A
SINGLE DAY BUT AFFORDABLE ACCOMMODATIONS AWAIT AT THE BASE IN NORTH CONWAY, FROM
TOP NOTCH INN OR PASSACONAWAY CAMPGROUND, WHERE YOU CAN UNWIND AFTER EARNING THE
KITSCH-CLASSIC BUMPER STICKER, “THIS CAR CLIMBED MOUNT WASHINGTON.”
IT'S ALL WELL AND GOOD TO SAY YOU WANT TO HIT THE ROAD WITH THE FAM, BUT WHERE
SHOULD YOU GO? HERE ARE A FEW MORE ROAD TRIPS TO CONSIDER.
