Here are some of the farthest destinations that people took as kids.
Seventeen-hundred miles... just shy of two miles from matching the year that the Declaration of Independence was signed at Independence Hall. This comment was from Christine Baczynskyj who stated that the trip typically lasted three to four consecutive days and lasted roughly 27 hours. However, Christine mentioned making the most of the trip with her family by blasting Galaxie 500 and cruising in the classic and luxurious station wagon!
It seems that escaping the cold wasn't a massive concern for Ashley RJ, either. She stated that, as a kid, her family took a road trip to Alaska... four times. Not once, not twice... four individual trips. Each of these trips spanned about one week just to get there. Then, they would then spend "four more weeks bopping around in the RV," eventually leading to a week-long drive home.
After reading through so many road trips that had to do with heading towards colder climates, salvation was found at last. Sheree Shepherd mentioned a trip her family took from Lansing, MI to California! This wasn't a small family, mind you. She mentioned six adults and eleven kids tagging along. This was done by "a single station wagon towing a pop-up trailer, one pickup truck with a camper on it, and a motorcycle towing a tiny trailer." A trip this jam-packed would not be possible without the binder full of CD's that our parents usually had, as these were pre smart-phone days!
After analyzing all of the responses, we noticed a common trend amongst everyone's childhood. The classic station wagon. For a very large majority, it seemed as if their parents' Wagon was the luxury vehicle of choice, especially with the ole' wooden panel on the side. Back then, Rolls Royces or Mercedes Maybachs were not necessary to have a good time. All that was needed as a kid was the classic wagon, a large road map that the parents tended to always fight over, and a similarly-bored sibling to face the back with to help mess with the surrounding traffic!
As always, we'd love to hear your experiences from your childhood! If you've traveled farther or have an interesting story to share, please share it with us! You can share your thoughts in the comments below and on our Facebook page at Cravings Gourmet Popcorn.
