    I drove my kids 14 hours each way to see the eclipse. On the first stop I said “Okay, we go in, go to the bathroom, grab chips, candy, and a soda, and we’re back in the car in five minutes.”

    They were absolute troopers. We stopped maybe three times and each time they did exactly as asked.

    Then we decided to drive to Disney with my wife and mother-in-law. The first time we stopped for a break it was at a Cracker Barrel, and they wanted to have a sit-down meal and do some shopping less than three hours into a 12 hour drive.

    My kids looked at me in confusion. My oldest said “Dad, doesn’t mom know how to take a road trip?!”
