In this episode of the Dads Toolbox we had the chance to bring back Jeff Bogle of Out with the Kids to talk about traveling with kids and great music to go along with those family adventures!
Jeff Bogle mentioned that when his family goes on road trip they make a play list as a family.

Two Thumbs Up
When it comes to your playlist, Jeff Bogle says, don’t be a dictator, allow the whole family to be a part of the decision making part. When you are pulling together music pick music that every person likes. Get the kids involved in the decision making process.
As you are traveling with your kids, you also need to allow your kids to help to select places to see, and things to do. You should do what you can to help your kids find the soul of the places that you will visit, and not just the places that all of the tourists experience says Jeff Bogle.
Jeff said that he wants to make unique memories for your family. Keep the tourist stuff on the side, not the center of the trip. Don’t leave experiencing the real location at the expense of the tourist things. Find ways to put your own stamp on even the most tourist places. By doing this you and your family have memories that will last for a lifetime.
Jeff Bogle said his number one tip was to get lost with your family. Take a street you do not know and see things that are unexpected. Jeff Bogle explained that this has happened many times on his trips. One time was a trip without kids to Milwaukee. He also talks about some of the amazing adventures that he shared with his family in San Francisco too.
