Thanks Drew! Being a father is an amazing experience, but it certainly does not come without its challenges. Being flexible, patient and loving has shown great success on many aspects, but certainly has helped while out camping with the family.
Love this! A few years ago, we started doing what we've coined "Call Out" trips. At any time, anyone in the car can change the trip by calling out what we do next, where we stop, and what we do. We just pick a general route/location and we may make it or not to the destination but each person gets to craft the adventure. We've stopped to eat an early lunch at a beach, shoot photos of roadkill that was "interesting" to our little scientist, and collected metric tons of rocks. Yes, as the dad, I experience some annoyance but the memories are what we still talk about whereas some of my favorite scheduled trips are not on the hit list.
Thanks Dude! Appreciate your feedback and for sparking a conversation. Personally, when the entire family is feeding on "spontaneous" we find ourself having the BEST experiences. I love your insight and certainly is an idea to expand upon with our family.
Amen to that! Well sound my friend.

I will definitely be adopting "Call Out" trips in this family. Love this Mark.
@@PlayingwithSticks It's fun but it requires everyone to be a bit forgiving and flexible. Good lessons all around.

Awesome channel
Thank you!
For sure bro… 5 yrs on the road, traveling has taught me so much.
Great to hear from y'all. Hope all is well!
I wish I could rewind time 10 years to when my son was eight, I’d be more consistent.
