Summer Road Trip 2012

The Clarke Family is heading for the Shore!  Jersey Shore! 

I dusted off my favorite memories of family road trips with mom, dad, sister and brother to help prepare for my own family’s adventure this summer!

As I stroll down memory lane, visions of long happy car rides to Niagara Falls, Virginia Beach and Florida come to mind.  I was Map Girl long before Lola, our GPS, took over navigation.  It’s so exciting to think of the journey ahead of us!  

As expert airplane travellers, my husband, son, daughter and I know how to pack light, get through security and 
pre-boarding procedures.  It’s been ten years since we travelled together by car on vacation.  My kids aren’t toddlers anymore!

My husband Gary’s brother lives in New Jersey and I wanted to relax by the ocean so we started thinking about visiting the Garden State this summer.  Our children are older, Evan is 12 and Emily is 18 years old.  Their Disney days are over as they long for thrill rides and beaches.  So when Evan started watching YouTube video’s of North America’s tallest roller coaster, Kingda Ka, in Six Flag Great Adventure in New Jersey, our plans fell into 
place.

In August 2012, The Clarke Family will embark on #SummerRoadTrip ~ we will tweet and blog our way from Toronto to New Jersey stopping by my brother-in-laws, Six Flags and the beaches of the Jersey Shore!  We hope you come along with us on twitter @FamilyMattersCA
