I absolutely agree.
I hope this isn't a downer, but when my Dad passed away at the beginning of this Summer and my brother gave the eulogy, my brother remarked how my Dad had instilled a spirit of adventure in him (and me) with our family camping trips when we were young. That really resonated with me.
Of course back then, we were unrestrained in the back end of a station wagon going up mountain roads, trying not to get car sick.
I think kids in a van have it much better now.
It's not just the memories that your kids are absorbing, it's learning to embrace new experiences, getting out of their comfort zone, and creating stronger family bonds.
