The picture to the left is me, sometime in the late 70s/early 80s, at Santa’s Village in New Hampshire (can you see my cool rainbow suspenders?). Back in my childhood, my family would regularly take family road trips during school vacations – we’d usually travel to either New Hampshire or Niagara Falls. My parents would load up our Volkswagen Jetta (with a “shell-type carrier on the roof) with our luggage, pack a gigantic cooler full of snacks and drinks (which my sister and I would use as a footrest), and then head off on our journey. Of course, our trip was full of bathroom stops and cries of “Are we there yet?”. In fact, I can’t really even remember how my sister and I could have possible kept ourselves entertained. We had no handheld games, no DVD players, and no iPads. But I have fond memories of those journeys – it’s true that the road trip is definitely part of the vacation memories.
We visited Santa’s Village a few times, and I remember taking pictures in front of those fun characters – like the bunny pictured to the left – every time. Alamo asked me to write about family road trips then and now, and in my “now” post next week, you’ll see that I still visit Santa’s Village, but now with my own kids.
Back then, we didn’t rent a car for our trip, but I sure wish we did, because we were cramped in that Volkswagen with the big cooler in the backseat. If you are looking to rent a car for your next family road trip, Alamo operates 171 kiosks at 63 U.S. locations and is the official rent-a-car of Walt Disney World® Resort and Disneyland® Resort.

I remember a roadtrip to Florida. We drove straight through the night and got there in about 22 hours!
We went sailing for a week every summer as a family. Crazy times but tons of memories.
My favorite family travel memory is when my family traveled to Aruba for my sisters Wedding in 2007
My favorite travel memory is the trip to WDW in the 7th grade where my parents let me plan the *entire* trip.
We drove 4 hours every summer to our cabin in upstate New York.
But the car rides I remember most were west, to Ohio and then Kentucky, to visit my mom’s sister and her family. We played the license plate game in the car, and my brothers and I would fight with each other in the backseat. We’d listen to 8-tracks of Johnny Cash and Abba. When it got late, we’d stop at what my mom called, her eyes shining with excitement, “Roadhouses”–basically, roadside taverns, where it would be dim inside. I think we had dinner there and were sleepy.
My favorite memory is when my youth group decided we wanted to go to Disney World, did all of the fundraising ourselves, planned the trip, and had a blast.
Camping every summer
Traveling down to Florida from Ohio — my sister had to sit by herself because she’d annoy us so much!
I love to go to Canada to see my Uncle and Auntie.
My favorite family travel memory is when I went as a kid to the Grand Canyon with my cousin. It was my first time traveling more than an hour or two from my house and I saw and experienced some amazing things.
Going to Disney World
Going to the philippines to see my daughter and my family

Traveling through Florida in an RV during the late 70s early 80s.

My dad worked at night so the few times we took vacation to the beach we would drive all night. Dad would be exhausted that first day but still always had a blast!
I loved it when my family went to see Mt Rushmore with my best friend and her family. Was so memorable because I hadn’t seen my friend in over 4 years.
Once we were at some tiny amusement park on a family vacation. Dog Patch maybe? Anyway, my parents were letting me ride things by myself for one of the first times. The first ride I got on, I liked so much, and the park was so empty, the operator just told me to ride as much as I wanted. I didn’t have to get back in line. I rode like 4 times in a row before my dad showed up in a panic thinking I was lost or hurt somewhere. I was just having an awesome time. And was at the age that his worry seemed hilarious to me. hehe.
My favorite memory was we traveled with my grandparents and cousins in Europe. It was fun to meet up with family from different cities and then headed to the final destination-Provence.
My favorite memory was our roadtrip from Minnesota to Florida (and back of course). I loved that trip.
road trip up the CA coast in a motor home with my family. Stopped along the way at amazing places and had adventures.
my favorite memory is our roadtrip to visit grandma in west virginia.
Going to spend summers in Ohio at my grandparents’ house.
My favorite is the year the entire extended family went to Daytona Beach. One of my uncles got pulled over for speeding, so when we saw that all the other cars pulled over to wait. The officer wasn’t quite sure what to think about five cars waiting while he wrote my uncle a ticket.
I always loved our trips to Vancouver Island, Canada! It would take us a couple of days from Califorinia, but I loved the dramatic changes in scenery along the way!
I loved all our trips to Disneyland
My kids had a lot of fun on our summer trips to the beach.
stuffing us all in the station wagon and driving hours and hours to our destinations while we played silly games was fun.
My favorite travel memory is going to Walt Disney world with my grandparents and camping in Fort Wilderness when I was 7 years old.

My favorite travel memory is a trip mylate husband & I took some years ago. We flew into Miami and rented a car and drove to Key West for a few days….then over to Tampa to see friends. Then on to Disney World for 3 days. (yes, 2 adults and no kids at Disney World. From there we went to Savannah, Ga Charleston, SC and Nashville. We had a great time and it is a special memory for me because it was the last trip we took before he got really sick.
loving our family trips to hershey park as a kid
Driving down to my Aunt’s house for Thanksgiving .. I remember always stopping at the Subway and DQ, since that was the only time we really got to eat at those places!
going to the JErsey shore every year
My fave trip was the grand canyon
My favorite trip I’ve ever taken was with my grandparents and we went to Duluth, MN and Thunder Bay up in Canada. I had the time of my life, and we were driving down a highway that was in the middle of a forest and we saw a brown bear cub! I was probably five years old, and I still remember it like it was yesterday!
My favorite is the 2 trips to VA beach I took my senior year in high school – 1 w/ the marching band, the other w/ the orchestra
Favorite traveling memory was when we went on a cruise in Mexico. Soo fun!
I love going to the beach with my family for the holidays!
When I was about 12 yeas old, my family took a trip to New Hampshire. It was on this very occasion that I discovered I had a fear of heights. All of us kids climbed up this hill and I was the only one that never made it to the top. I was too afraid to move half way up the hill!
I remember visits to Walt Disney World over the years with my parents. Some years we would simply stay there, others we ventured off to Circus World, Cyprus Gardens, Sea World, and even went to Universal Studios when it first opened. I also recall going to Hawaii for my father’s 40th birthday. Then on the way back we stayed in LA for a Dodgers game (and days at Disneyland) and the NY Yankees were in our hotel. So many memories.
I remember going to Circus World too!!
Favourite place to travel, to my sister’s in Maine, fresh lobster, lots of campfires at night
Disneyland is the best, still remember it from when I was a kid, my kids loved it too
We didn’t take many vacations, but when we did, we did it in a big way. One year we traveled from California to Wyoming to visit relative and saw Yellowstone and the Devil’s Post Pile.
I remember traveling to the Bronx Zoo and the Coney Island Aquarium!
when we went to disney world, we had an amazing themed room during our stay! i’m not sure how my parents pulled it off when i was a kid
The first time we brought the boys to Disney World. We walked up Main Street in the Magic Kingdom and their eyes were wide and mouths open as they saw the castle approaching. Then they saw, in front of the castle, a show being performed. On stage were Mickey, Donald, Goofy, and other favorite characters. Their little minds were blown and they’ve been addicted to Disney (just like Mom and Dad) ever since.
My favorite trip was going to Pigeon Forge TN when I was a kid!
We find a new destination for a family reunion every year or two. This year was Panama City FL. Great memories!
I have a sister that will decide to go whenever, where ever….just get up and go! There’s about 25 years between us, so I was lucky enough to often tag along with her, her kids, and eventually grandkids. Some of my favorite trips were to Niagara Falls when I was 10, numerous trips to the mountains of NC and the beaches of SC (we’re from SC). We just never knew where she’d end up going! It was always fun to see new places with them.
we drove across country for a PCS, my husband did a uturn in a 20Ft Uhaul just to see a huge Superman statue! my kids still talk about it.
About 8 years ago I took all three kids and hubby for a week long trip around the California coast…the drive down highway 1 is one of the most beautiful you will ever take…a fantastic bonding experience

Driving to Canada with my best friend
I love to travel so there are many wonderful memories of many great places. Since its the holiday season, my favorite place to go this time of year is to Williamsburg, VA. It’s usually cold there this time of year and we visit many shops in the historic village until we get to one where we get a cup of hot spiced cider and a warm gingerbread cookie. In the evening, there are great historic pubs to visit and eat at, lots of activities (like Christmas concerts), and everything is decorated beautifully for the season. A great place to get in the spirit.
Disneyworld!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

My family once roadtripped from Connecticut to Minnesota. It was a great experience!
I remember going to the lake with my grandma and grandpa. I would be sitting in the back seat and they would go really fast over these tickle bumps in the road. The bumps would make you come up out of your seat and it was just so much fun. It was one of my favorite times from being young. Thank you!
My favorite memory will always be our summer trips to Daytona Beach. I loved having picnics on the beach.
We once traveled to Stone Mountain so my daughter could see snow. It didn’t snow for first few days and then it snowed. My daughter and I had a friendly snowball fight. We had such a good time.
Driving up to Maine in the summer with my parents, doing MadLibs in the backseat and laughing until we cried!
I used to love going to the shore with my family. We would load up in our station wagon for the 2 hour drive. Once there, we would spend hours riding rafts on the beach and searching for shells.
My favorite memories was when my children were little and we use to take them often to Canada for the weekend. They were always so excited to go, knowing what a great time they’d have. They got to go across the Bridge to Canada and from there, it wasn’t a long drive but surely lots of excitement
Costa Rica is beautifullll
We took a family trip to Washington DC a few years ago – an educational vacation. I was skeptical that my kids would enjoy or truly appreciate the value of that trip, but they still talk about it today as one of the best vacations ever. It even trumps our family trip to the Bahamas the following year.
My favorite road trip was dirving around Europe when I was 11.

Two years ago my wife and I decided to drive to disneyland. We packed up and took off and didnt realize how long of a drive it would be. We ended up exploring all these small towns and indian reservations along the way. The drive ended up being as much fun as disneyland! Such a wonderful memory!

my parents and I would go camping at least once a month, we took a 2 week trip to Yellowstone one summer! Best trip ever!
My favorite family trip has always been driving to Florida. I love the trip and I love that first look at the ocean. One of the best things is getting up very early and walking down the beach when hardly anyone is out, seeing if anything has washed up, enjoying the air.

They own this little island up in Maine and it is absolutely incredible–hand-pumped water, unbelievable starry skies away from light pollution.
My favorite were when me, my mom and my brother would take 6 hr road trips to visit my uncle every weekend one year. It was a long trip but we always had fun giggling and talking along the way. Thanks.

My favorite family vacation was DisneyWorld. it was my first time in a plane so I thought that was so totally awesome! Until we actually got to Disney World, than the plane ride suddenly came in second in my list of awesomeness. I was an only child at the time so it was just nice to have such a bonding experience with just myself and my parents.
we went on a trip up the oregon coast with my aunt, grandma, mom, cousins, and sister. it was an awesome girls trip.
My favorite family travel memories are when my father took my brothers & sisters and myself (all of us were teens at that time) on a road trip to Northern California (we live in Southern California). This trip entailed visits to: Solvang Village, Hearst Castle, Six Flags Magic Mountain and Fisherman’s Wharf – and while at Fisherman’s Wharf, we visited the Ripley’s Museum, Alcatraz Island Prison AND flew in a helicopter to sightsee the Bay, Golden Gate Bridge and Alcatraz Prison.
This was the last vacation our family ever took together.
Unable to follow with Instagram; I do not own a smartphone or Android tablet.
One year we went through the Redwoods of Northern California on our way to see family and Disneyland.
