How to Plan a Pumpkin Spice Road Trip

-

I know that it seems really early to start talking about fall things like pumpkins, but Starbucks signature drink, the Pumpkin Spice Latte, has already been available for over a week now!  Since people tend to go crazy about pumpkin, I thought it might be fun to plan a gourd themed road trip.  These food and activities are perfect for a long drive through autumn leaves.

























What's your favorite latte flavor?

What themed road trip should I do next?

FREE Airplane Trip Social Story and Coloring Book

My family is getting ready to take our three special needs kids on their very first airplane trip.  I'm a bit overwhelmed and anxious about the journey, but I'm really excited that we can give them this experience.  Flying commercially comes with a big list of new rules and situations.  To help prepare my kids, I created this social story. Do you also have a special needs or sensory kid?  Check out this list of tools for your next trip!  Airplane Travel Survival Kit for Sensory Kids I found all these great airplane travel graphics from Educlips on Teachers Pay Teachers.   I am so happy that she offers her art in both color and black and white.  The creator made it super easy to make the social story with a matching coloring book. My goal with this social story was to cover all the major moments in airplane travel, while still keeping the context short and simple.  So hard!  The story talks about arriving at the airport, checking bags at the ticket counter, going through securit

This blog article was originally posted on my first blog  In Our Pond .  I started out trying to put all my travel content on my homeschooling blog, but it grew to be too big.  So, I'm moving all the road trip stuff over here!  It'll probably take me a while to move all the posts, but I'll also be posting new content on here as well.  In Our Pond will now be exclusively for homeschooling and parenting content, while this blog (Party Through the USA) is for all the family travel posts.  Check them both out! Now that it's the New Year, I've started thinking about SUMMER!  In fact, I've already started planning our next themed road trip (which I'll be revealing soon).  About this time of year, I start up my Travel Time Tuesday posts, and today is the first one! In this digital age, it's easy to hand your child a device and pacify them with movies and games the entire trip.  But, as we all know, you miss so much when you're living life throug

Travel Dice Games for Kids

Dice is great for camping and other types of travel, because they're tiny, heavy, and washable.  They don't take up very much room in your luggage and can often be stored in an altoid tin.  Most dice have some weight to them, so you don't have to worry about them blowing away if you're playing outside.  Lastly, plastic dice are washable, in case they end up in the mud or get grimy from being played by lots of people.  As we approach primary travel season, I've rounded up some awesome dice games from around the web. Dice is good for math practice, too.  As a homeschool family, we're always looking for ways to add fun into our school time.  Many of the games in this post promote number recognition, addition, probability, multiplication, and other math concepts.  I've also simplified many of the games to make them easier for kids to understand and win. Pig or Jeopardy or Greed GOAL- Be the First to 100 DICE- 1 total or 1 per person ADDITIONAL- 100 ch
