The Great American Road Trip. It’s a rite of passage in this great country, whether you’re driving only a few hours or you’re driving across the entire continent.
I’ve been on some road trips in my day, some great, some…not so great (Kansas City to Dallas, 1998, I’m still not over it).
Anyway, here are some funny tweets about that memorable experience that is THE ROAD TRIP.
1. Gonna be a long day.
When can we stop and eat?

5. Did I bring the Twinkies?
The first 30 minutes of any road trip is spent mentally cataloging everything you forgot to pack.

6. Never works out, does it?
No one is full of more false hope than a parent organizing car ride activities before a long road trip.

7. There’s no way they’re lying!
when we'd go on a road trip, my dad would see a sign that said "the best burgers" and be like, oh we have to stop there, they have the best!

9. Sorry, no can do.
Friend: We should go on a road trip.
Me: Absolutely. Let's do it.

10. Try to go while you’re driving. That’s a skill.
Going on a road trip is basically the art of finding a place to buy coffee followed by finding a place to pee in a loop forever.

11. Might be dangerous.

12. He’s got it all in his head.
Headed out on a road trip with my husband so if I’m never heard from again he probably got us lost because he “doesn’t need directions.”

13. You should get to your destination sometime next week.
An easy way to add 45 minutes to a road trip is to let your kids pick out a snack when you stop for gas.

14. Maybe on the roof?

15. Dad is always the last holdout.
The most shameful thing a dad can do is be the one who has to pee on a road trip.
