When I was a kid in the early 90s, my family went on a cross-country road trip from Atlanta to the Grand Canyon in an Aerostar minivan.
This was back before smartphones and Nintendo DS, for any of you youngins. The only entertainment kids had for road trips back then were books and your own imagination.
This was also back before CDs and iPods. Just cassette tapes. And the only two cassettes my family had for this weeklong road trip were the soundtracks for Top Gun and Phantom of the Opera.
We listened to each probably a dozen times.

We played the license plate game. I can't remember if we collected the states or just the first letter. Probably states but who knows.
This feels like a bygone era in travel. Planes were reserved for those with money it seemed.
