This past July, my family went on its first long-distance road trip! My 12 year old son had qualified to compete at the Junior Olympics for Taekwondo, which were being held in Richmond, Virginia this year. How could we not go?
My biggest concern was how well our children, 9, 9, and 12, would do on such a
long car ride. I even made them each
binders with road trip activities inside. It turned out that we didn't really need them. All we needed were phones, tablets, external battery packs, and a portable hotspot.

When we drove from Massachusetts to Virginia, we left at about 1:00am, so there wasn't too much we could see until the sun came up. On the way home, although it was gray and foggy, we were able to see quite a bit.

The distance from Massachusetts to Virginia is about halfway to Florida. Would we survive driving all the way to Florida? I'm leaning towards no, but you never know!

I am thrilled to report that my son won a bronze medal for sparring in Taekwondo for his weight and belt division! My heart just fills with pride when I think about it because he worked so hard and he was quite humble when he
received his medal.
