We just got back from 2855 miles on the road. I’m working on posts about our trip; I’ve got lots to say about the place we went, about what worked, and about what I’d do differently, but while I work on gathering my ideas into written form, I thought you might enjoy some video evidence of the kinds of things we do to pass the time during those long hours in our small car.
A bit of background: My children love Scooby Doo with a passion that exceeds all reason. Thanks to YouTube, they actually know the names of all the classic episodes and will compare the various merits of “The Harum Scarum Sanitarium” and “A Highland Fling With a Monstrous Thing.”
As you will see, my husband is quite good at making up what we call “Scooby Stories” to pass the time. The name of this particular one (inspired of course by our trip) was “Scooby Doo and the Haunted Rest Area.” I think he does a very good Shaggy, don’t you?
I've taken with my children and those I want to take. Explore and you'll find family travel tips, information about vacation destinations, and lots of stories about our adventures! 
I’ve been to plenty of rest stops and they ARE spooky. Loved the video, great slice of traveling life.

Never a dull moment indeed!
Zoe & Ava loved it -and Ava noticed it looks like Matt is eating cars as you watch the oncoming traffic! Zoe thought it appeared he puked a big one out!
Very cute!!!
