Road Trip! Who doesn’t love a good road trip?! We have done a lot of road trips, however, in the spring of 2019, our family did a fun road trip to Tucson, AZ, and back.  We didn’t have the right truck at the time to pull our camper so this was going to be a real van road trip…hotels, gas station bathroom stops and hours of in-the-van entertainment to be had!
