We just got back from vacation last night! I am definitely a destination person…I hate traveling in the car, especially with a toddler. In spite of the constant crying, lost credit card and icky fast food, we managed to have a good time. I sure could have done without the seven hour drive each way though!

Destination!!! I love traveling, but not all the hassles of packing and getting there. We took a little road trip this weekend with both kids to Olympic National Park and just the 6 hour drive was…trying. So many potty stops, oh my goodness.

Destination all the way… since having 4 kiddos, at least. In my college days I did enjoy a good road trip or two, but now there is too much stuff to take, and it doesn’t hurt that we have great airline travel benefits b/c hubbie is a pilot.

Hmm, I think it depends. The journey can really make the vacation, but if I’m being honest, I love the destination most. With the kids this young, we try to make the journey as quickly but comfortably as we can because they don’t really understand the traveling thing too well.

i’m more of the journey person but now that we have kids sometimes its just easier to forge forward and just get there.

Sometimes I’m into the destination and sometimes the journey. Our honeymoon was spent driving across the US reading to each other and stopping when we found something interesting. It was a fun low-key kinda trip. But sometimes – like the weekend I chaperoned a trip to Disneyland the journey was spent sleeping and the mini-vaca was all about the destination!

Before kids it was the whole thing. Now I’d just like to get there and get there quickly!

I have never been a travel person but I do like visiting other places. I just hate the getting-there part…

My favorite vacations are when we drive down the Oregon coast to visit our families in California. The driving is the relaxing part. I love our family but it’s go go go once we get there.

The destination. I just got home from a 13 hour car trip home from Utah and now… I am not willing to do another journey for a really, really long time. We made some great memories while we were there. I get sooo really nervous packing and planning and then I finally relax when we get there.I do not like the journey. ALthough my 4 year old wanted an adventure like in the movie,”UP” I told him driving 13 hours in the car to Utah was an adventure. He said it wasn’t the same! He wanted the balloons to take us there! haha
