Junior Jet Set

Thanks Jacinta! The biker-esque restaurant? Was awesome. I can't relate to unrealistic "tips" packaged in marketing sleekness. Bring on the real tips from real moms!

Thank you Jamie for these smart, practical, and real tips. I'm often frustrated by "expert" Martha-Stewart-type tips for prepping for a family beach vacation -- sometimes it's glaring that the "expert" in question doesn't have kids, and doesn't even live in the real world where arts and crafts in the backseat for a five-hour drive are unrealistic. I know that I'll be taking baby powder with me next time we hit the beach (great tip!) and I'll also be open to the biker restaurant!! I'll also remember that the 7am swim chant is a short-lived blessing. I genuinely hope you'll share your reality of travel with kids insights again!
