Let's Go On A Road Trip!

Many times when we are stuck at work, only thoughts of an upcoming vacation can keep us going.. We are ready for that vacation.

.

Yet with most of international boarders remaining closed, road trips and staycations seem to be the only option for family travel. So are we, REALLY ready for THIS type of vacation?

.

Road trips can be so much fun! Yet car travel, especially with family, requires a great deal of preparation.

.

If that alone is not enough, COVID-related restrictions are making family road trips so much more difficult. Here is a road trip meme that describes what I am talking about perfectly!

.

If THAT is not enough also, let me ask you: are you planning to take a road trip with your kids?!! I could not stop laughing at the next road trip meme about travel with kids!

.

Well.. maybe some kids are not that excited after-all..

.

How to Properly Prepare for a Road Trip Memes

Most of the road trips happen in summer of course. However in some parts of Canada summer can be like…

.

Step 1: consolidate all kids car seats in one car. …and every mother everywhere is like…

.

Step 2: Get snacks! Lot's of snacks! It doesn't matter how old you are, buying snacks for a road trip should always look like an unsupervised 9-year-old was given a $100 hilarious road trip joke.

.

Step 3: learn the road trip car rules – best summed up in the next meme

.

Also, let's get clear on the highway rules.. one last time.

All done? Let's pack! I personally absolutely adore this alpaca road trip meme!

On the Road Family Driving Experience Memes

Are you finally packed and morally prepared for the road trip of your life?! Get ready for surprises! Kids have many!

.

Don't forget not to eat beans before your road trip!

.

Otherwise that moment when someone farts in the car will become a popular road trip meme 🙂

.

Road Trip Tip: make sure to have good navigation and load your destination in advance. However I agree with this road trip meme: one does not simply do a road trip without getting lost! LOL

.

You'll be surprised, but I still sometimes see people relying on paper maps on many of my own family road trips. How? Why? Life before Google Maps road trip meme sums it up.

.

Road Trip Tip: try to have at least two drivers in the car. Here is a road trip cartoon that explains it.

.

But when you tell your wife on a road trip you're tired and ready to switch drivers…

.

At some point she's gotta take the wheel. Every man has this look when his wife is driving – road trip meme.

.

What do you do in the car for so long?

What do you even do on those road trips? How do you entertain each other? Road trip cartoon: My family's favourite road trip game is called “heated argument”.

.

Men, beware, your spouses are sneaky! Get into heated argument with my husband on a summer road trip – turn on his seat heater when he's not looking meme 🙂

.

Guess who desperately wants to be a part of your conversation?!

.

Fights can happen for any reason. Wrong music mixtape? easy!

.

Maybe it is best sometimes to turn a deaf ear on what your kids are listening to!

.

Speaking about kids: they ARE listening! I realized I might have a road rage problem – road trip meme

.

Road Trip Tip: you gotta keep it all together whatever it takes. you're a family after-all. Here is a great road trip cartoon situation that you definitely want to avoid.

.

Most times on long road trips you have to be creative to pass time. Whenever I was on a long road trip, I used to imagine there was a little man running alongside me, dodging obstacles – joke 🙂 Thankfully there are many road trip kids activities you can choose from nowadays!

.

But most of the time the whole family is trying to fall asleep. The driver is like naaahhh… Let me play you the song of my people!

.

Depending on where you are travelling through, even dogs can fall asleep.

.

Road trips are definitely not a glamorous way of travel..

The Hard Truth About Travel With Kids – Road Trip Memes & Cartoons

Here comes the juice stuff: road trips with kids meme and cartoon collection. Having a toddler of my own and travelling with him all over, I could not stop laughing at these road trip jokes!

.

Every single thing done with the kid is a challenge. It all starts way before you leave. This “Get your child into a car seat” road trip cartoon sums it up perfectly.

.

Sometimes I wish things were easier…

.

Easy on the car seat buckle pressure! Kids are people too. LOL. Just look at his poor face!

“And then they expected a baby to sleep in the car seat” funny road trip meme

.

Some parents get creative to make their baby sleep… but does it really work?!

.

I am sure you've been through these situations so many times: your baby cries throughout the entire road trip and finally falls asleep two blocks away from your destination. Whyyyyyy…?!!!!!

.

Or, probably worse: you baby sleeps all through the entire road trip only to be up all night when parents are trying to catch some sleep. Frankly, I'd rather have it hte other way around.

.

But what if your kids are older? Road trip meme: The look on my face when my kids fight in the car.

.

Road Trip With Kids PRO Trip: Want kids to behave on road trips? Bring a bag of candy. Anytime they misbehave, throw a piece of candy out the window. Problem solved. This tactic may be a bad joke, yet your kids good behaviour is guaranteed.

.

Good Road Trip Joke: on a road trip with my dad when I was young, he pulls out a diet pepsi and opens it. I yell “don't drink and drive!” and knock it out of his hand. LOL

.

The entire road trip with your kids in one infographic cartoon:

“Are we there yet?” cute road trip meme.

Your Funny Road Trip Dining Guide

Road trips are not just about driving. You gotta eat. Here is “dining out with children summer-up in one photo” hilarious road trip meme

.

Many parents would rather eat gas station food than have a seat-down at a restaurant with their kids. I can totally understand this attitude.

.

Some cars are better equipped for gas station dinners than others…

.

The alternative: eating right in your car.

.

Like this post if you are a Canadian, like we are! Tim Hortons forever.

.

Well, some of us do try to eat healthy. Excellent road trip food joke by a healthy mom 🙂 Nice try mom!

.

Yet, food is always fun and is always the subject of so many road trip jokes!

.

Did you know our cars have a built-in taco holder?!

Tacos on a road trip? Do you want to risk your marriage? Seriously? LOL

.

Yet some cars are even equipped with a perfect grill device! Hit a deer? You can eat it right then and there – sorry, this road trip joke is dark.

.

Many times road trips with family do indeed test your relationship, and all you want at the end of the day is a good drink. Trust me, I am Russian.

Road Trip Bathroom Breaks

So you think road trip food is funny? Wait for it! Here come road trip bathroom jokes and memes!

.

…and it always happens as you just pulled out of the rest stop.

.

..or if you are in the middle of nowhere. This “we have a problem Captain” road-trip mama is so funny!

We all had this feeling when you reach the end of a long road trip with no rest stops… you are like:

.

.

Where do we sleep on a road trip?

“Are we nearly there yet?” and everyone laughed! But no. There was still 89 minutes left. “Are we there yet” road trip joke.

.

I find the smoking in the car road trip meme appalling. Yet including it here still as an example of what NOT to do on your road trip. Smoking is bad for you by the way.

.

When the family is finally tired and starts looking for an accommodation.

.

Finding a good hotel in the middle of nowhere can be tricky. There is an abundance of really weird ones for sure. Just look at this clown motel. Would you stay here?! No way!

.

What is ti with kids and pools anyways? “New hotel with kids pool just opened?” road trip meme.

“Houston, We Have A Problem” Road Trip Memes

Now let's switch gears and talk about what common problems you might expect during your epic road trip.

Speeding. Simply don't speed. I absolutely love the road trip joke below.

.

Yes, definitely slow down when you see a cop. Even if everyone in your car needs to use the bathroom urgently. You'll waste a lot of time if they pull you over.

.

Can't stop laughing at the rock-paper-scissors joke!

.

Things you can see on the road. You'll be surprised.

.

Road Trip Tip: make sure your car is in perfect condition before your hit the road.

.

It sucks when your car breaks down on your road trip.

Most common problem on any road trip is a flat tire, so you should have a plan.

Do you even know how to change a tire?.. I don't. The following baby changing tire meme says it all.

Totally valid argument. LOL.

…And When You're Finally Back

Oh… family road trips can be so exhausting… No wonter there are so many road trip memes, cartoon and jokes floating around.

.

When I get back from a road trip, I need three things. A good long hot shower.

.

To return to my normal diet.

.

…and a weekend long sleep.

.

Travelling with kids is hard, there is no doubt.

.

Sometimes I am glad I only have one child, although they say it is easier with two or three.

.

Yet, [most] road trips are so much fun! Road trips are the perfect way to really connect with everyone in your family on an intimate level, to see places you would never see from a plane, to experience adventure. We bring back lots of memories, lots of photos and lots of stories to tell.

.

No matter how hard it can be for us as parents, family road trips are some of the brightest childhood memories our kids would have. Ask yourself. I certainly remember many of them. I do not remember where we went, what we did, how we fought, what we ate… but I definitely remember how they made me feel – as a strong part of my family that loves to adventure together.
