Road Trips: Then and Now


So now that you have picked one of our top 5 road trip destinations, your favorite (but healthy) snacks are carefully prepped and located within arms reach, you have become a master at tetris via packing your luggage, and the stowaways (um, kids) are buckled up and ready to go, you’re probably either fantasizing about how wonderfully this trip will go, or dreading all of the potential mishaps along the way. Well, to ease the mood and give you some chuckles before you hit the road, here are our top “then and now” moments of the road trip process.

Then:

As a kid


Why would any kid want to be trapped in a car for hours on end?

Now:

As an adult


This is going to be AWESOME.  Open roads means freedom!

Then:

As an Adolescent


Cruel and unusual punishment

Now:

In College


Parties on parties on parties

Then:

Before Marriage


Too Cool!

Now:

After Marriage


Enough said...

Then:

Before Kids


Young and free forever!

Now:

After Kids


What did I get myself into?

Then:

Before Smartphones


Trying to read a map

Now:

With Smartphones



All the power in the palm of your hands

Then:

Before Pets


Now:

After Pets


All sense of pride...gone

Then

Listening to the Radio:


Every song was great

Now

Listening to the Radio:


What are these vile sounds coming from my speakers?
