Hi, we are the Bunn Family!

Dad & Driver: Mark. Mom & Photographer: Pam. Kids & Complainers: L, B, and twins C & C.

One chilly Saturday in February 2010 we had nothing to do. Being stuck in the house with four little people can get monotonous. We just wanted to get out of the house. So, we loaded up our minivan with snacks and activities. We buckled two toddlers and two preschoolers in their carseats. And then we hit the road with absolutely no plan in mind.

We ended up two hours from home in the Clarksville, VA area. Fantastic farmhouses. Beautiful Barns. Two lane treasures. The day trip was the start of a new hobby. We’ve been on amazing road trips and countless day trips since. We’ve seen thousands of miles of back roads and countless two lane treasures that dot those back roads. There have been good trips and there have been bad trips— because traveling with kids is never perfect.

I believe that kids can be trained to be good car riders. I believe that parents need realistic expectations. I believe that fun family memories can be found in the close confines of a minivan on two lane back roads. I believe these things because I have been there, done that.

Here I plan to share our backroad adventures and tips to help others who want to do the same with children. Let’s hit the road!
