It’s no secret that our family loves traveling and camping! We just got home from a 4,000+ mile road trip to the Gaspésie Peninsula in Québec, Canada so I’m sharing all of our hacks and tricks of the trade now that I’m restlessly sitting at home wishing we were still on our 16 day adventure. I shared lots of these great tips in a news segment on WBTV News!

One of my most favorite snacks to pack is trail mix. I’m definitely a sweets lover and my hubby is a salty lover…so a sweet and salty trail mix is always sitting on the console between us as we travel down the road!
