Everyone gets a daily "stop" card - Road trip tip

by Cathleen Shaffer (RSS feed) on Aug 10th 2010 at 1:44AM

On a road trip, you just can't stop everywhere that looks interesting or fun. And of course, what would appeal to an 8-year-old girl might lead to the eye-rolling of a 14-year-old boy. An easy solution: every family member gets a "stop" card daily.

No questions asked, no arguments -- if a family member pulls out their "stop" card, the whole family stops. You can put a cap on cost ahead of time, and no complaining allowed as each gets a turn.

It's fair, fun and very interesting to see the type of stopping points chosen.
