S6E16 – Road Trips With Kids: A Comedy of “Are We There Yet?”

Posted on by

Buckle up, parents — we’re hitting the open road, minivan packed, snacks locked and loaded… and kids already asking “Are we there yet?” before we’ve even left the driveway. In this episode, we share the hilarious highs and disastrous lows of family road trips:

  • The eternal backseat sibling wars

  • Gas station snack negotiations that rival the U.N.

  • Car karaoke nobody asked for

  • And the dark art of packing 27 toys, only for your kid to play with a stick from a rest stop

Whether you’ve survived a 12-hour drive with toddlers or you’re gearing up for your first family vacation on wheels, this episode is your comic relief for the long haul. Warning: may cause flashbacks of Goldfish cracker crumbs in every seat crevice.

Cocktail: Mo Sierra Salinas Monastrell

Snack Time: Speculoos Cookies
