--To a 3-year old, a 7-year old's bedroom is like Disneyland.
--To a 6-month old, vacation is amazingly like being at home. The sky is the same in every new state that is entered.
--Though routine by definition is routine (boring), it does have amazing value.
--A quick rest stop on the highway is no longer quick with kids.
--A friendly, clean, organized and courteous McDonald's is like a day at the spa with a toddler.
--If you think you packed the best snacks, DVDs, clothes, etc there is always something you didn't pack that was better at home.
--Never mention something you're going to do later in the day 1st thing in the morning when you'll be spending the entire day in the car.
--Diss a van all you want...on a trip with only public restrooms, the van is the best place to change a diaper.
