šŸŽ™ļø Episode 228: ā€œVacationing with Adult Kidsā€

šŸš— āœˆļøĀ  It’s a special kind of chaos, folks.

In this episode, Cathrine shares her Michigan mishaps, Tracy spills the Georgia tea (spoiler alert: no ghosts were spotted, but drama was), and together they recount the realities of traveling with adult children.

From TSA misunderstandings to parking fines, chicken-gate to haunted tours with zero hauntings, and Adam’s free-range audio choices—this episode is jam-packed with laugh-out-loud moments and actually helpful travel tips.

šŸ‘Øā€šŸ‘©ā€šŸ‘§ā€šŸ‘¦ Whether your grown kids are your favorite travel buddies or your favorite reason to book separate flights—this one's for you.

šŸ’” Tracy’s Pitfall Prevention Tips for Traveling with Adult Kids:

  1. Expectations Are Everything – Clarify the vibe: chill or tourist-mode?

  2. Divide and Delegate – Everyone hauls their own stuff (and loses it, too).

  3. Book Smart – Remember the Alamo… but don’t book with them.

  4. Use Communication Tools – Notes, pins, group texts = sanity savers.

  5. Build in Downtime – Don’t overpack the schedule—or the emotional luggage.

  6. Pack Earbuds. Seriously. – Looking at you, Adam.

  7. Laugh Anyway – The mishaps are tomorrow’s best stories. Trust us.

    šŸ“– Scriptures for the Journey:

    • Deuteronomy 6:6–7 – ā€œImpress them on your children...ā€ (Yes, even the adult ones.)

    • Ephesians 4:32 – ā€œBe kind and compassionate to one anotherā€¦ā€ Especially when your parking ticket is $45.

      šŸ’¬ Final Thoughts:

      Vacations with adult kids can be full of love, laughter, and a little low-key trauma—but they're worth it. If nothing else, they give you podcast content for days.

      šŸŽ§ Listen now and tell us: What’s your best (or worst) family vacation story?
