Have you ever been on a road trip and then everything falls apart? I’m talking screaming siblings, hungry family, and most of all feeling uncomfortable the whole drive. Well, this is exactly what happened to my family on our 2016 road trip to California. Not to mention we had everything planned. Every place, cost, time, and snack.
