Wonderment: Road Trip
Photos by Erin Austen Abbott “$1.99 < Free”
Exploring wonderment and sharing that with your children is one of the most magical things you could give to them. I snapped this cotton candy picture while at a truck stop while we were on a road trip from Mississippi to Texas. I had a pink cloud photo that I had taken previously on a different road trip that I knew I wanted it to pair with.
A few ways that we look for wonderment when on a road trip:
Cloud spotting.
Look out the window for things to point out to your child that they have never seen before.
Stop at roadside attractions.
Take a route you’ve never taken before, just for fun.
Get your child a disposable camera and let them take pictures through the window.

Stay: The Graduate in Madison,Wi
Finding hotels that are a good fit for families but also appeal to the parents design aesthetic isn’t always as easy as one might think. For my family, we want a place where my early rising son isn’t going to bother other rooms that might be sleeping in and we aren’t right on top of each...
