Episode 228-Vacationing with Adult Children

🎙️ Episode 228: “Vacationing with Adult Kids”

🚗 ✈️  It’s a special kind of chaos, folks.

In this episode, Cathrine shares her Michigan mishaps, Tracy spills the Georgia tea (spoiler alert: no ghosts were spotted, but drama was), and together they recount the realities of traveling with adult children.

From TSA misunderstandings to parking fines, chicken-gate to haunted tours with zero hauntings, and Adam’s free-range audio choices—this episode is jam-packed with laugh-out-loud moments and actually helpful travel tips.

👨‍👩‍👧‍👦 Whether your grown kids are your favorite travel buddies or your favorite reason to book separate flights—this one's for you.

💡 Tracy’s Pitfall Prevention Tips for Traveling with Adult Kids:

1. Expectations Are Everything – Clarify the vibe: chill or tourist-mode?

2. Divide and Delegate – Everyone hauls their own stuff (and loses it, too).

3. Book Smart – Remember the Alamo… but don’t book with them.

4. Use Communication Tools – Notes, pins, group texts = sanity savers.

5. Build in Downtime – Don’t overpack the schedule—or the emotional luggage.

6. Pack Earbuds. Seriously. – Looking at you, Adam.

7. Laugh Anyway – The mishaps are tomorrow’s best stories. Trust us.

📖 Scriptures for the Journey:

• Deuteronomy 6:6–7 – “Impress them on your children...” (Yes, even the adult ones.)

• Ephesians 4:32 – “Be kind and compassionate to one another…” Especially when your parking ticket is $45.

💬 Final Thoughts: Vacations with adult kids can be full of love, laughter, and a little low-key trauma—but they're worth it. If nothing else, they give you podcast content for days.
