Road Trip Vacation VS Flying to your start your Vacation
According to the Car Care Council:
- A family of four traveling 500 miles each way by air will spend $1,324 for tickets, based on 2007 fourth quarter statistics from the Bureau of Transportation Statistics. {And we know that price is way higher now!}
- If gasoline prices were $5.00 a gallon, the cost for a family of four traveling by a SUV would be $314.00

Summer is the best time to get in the car and explore the back roads. If you are planning a long road trip with the kids I suggest you take along some travel books filled with fun games to keep them entertained. You may also want to add some fun girly car decorations to make your drive more enjoyable. Visit http://www.CarDecor.com to shop for family travel items and unique car accessories for women.
