Like so many do in the summer time, we enjoyed a little family road trip over the weekend. We headed north a couple of hours to beautiful Flagstaff, Arizona. It was about 30 degrees cooler than our home base in the Valley of the Sun and we had a really wonderful visit with some dear friends that we’ve known a long time.

From my seat in our car, this was my view.

David driving. Kiddos in their bathing suits from being at the lake, wet towels drying over the back seat, a mess of toys and things that Claire insisted on bringing …

This was my view. And so I took a picture.

Think about road trips you’ve been on. Have you aimed your camera out the window to take some scenic shots? Have you photographed signs and landmarks? What about inside the car? What snacks do you enjoy on the road? What activities are the kids doing? Who is driving? What view do those in the backseat have of the driver? Are you using a map? GPS? Turn your camera inside on your road trip too.
