In this episode, I’m sharing our real-life family trip to Six Flags Fiesta Texas — the good, the chaotic, and everything in between. From unexpected crowds to surprise hotel upgrades and lazy river resets, this isn’t your average theme park recap.

It’s about how we stayed connected, managed long lines, made the most of our passes (hello, food plan!), and embraced joy even when things didn’t go as planned.

Whether you're planning a visit to Fiesta Texas or just looking for real family travel advice, this episode is full of honest insight, laughter, and helpful tips for traveling with kids and teens.

Planning a road trip with kids?

Whether you're packing the car for a toddler meltdown or navigating teen headphone territory, this episode has you covered.

I’m breaking down real-life road trip prep by age group — what to pack, what to expect, and how to stay (mostly) sane along the way.

From $40 sandwich fails, to what I keep in the front seat as a parent, this is your guide to hitting the road with your family — connection first, perfection not required.

In this very first Bond Voyage Friday Moment Minisode, I’m inviting you to pause — just for a few minutes — and ask yourself a powerful question before your next trip:

How do I want to feel while I travel?

It’s easy to get caught up in the packing lists and plans, but the most memorable family trips often come from the energy we bring with us, not the activities we check off.

Take a breath with me, set a gentle intention, and let’s begin shifting from chaos to connection — one small moment at a time.

These minisodes are designed to ground, inspire, and support you as you head into the weekend.
Thanks for being here. 💛

Episode Description:

In today’s episode, we’re talking about one simple shift that can change the way your family experiences every trip — moving from Itinerary to Intention.
Instead of cramming your days with to-do lists, what if you planned your travels around how you want to feel, connect, and grow together?
I’m sharing mindset tips, practical planning questions, and a few laughs (yes, including a corny travel pun!) to help you design trips that leave your family closer, not just more exhausted.

Because remember — there’s no passport stamp for exhaustion.

In this episode, we’re not talking about packing lists or snack organization — we’re diving into something even more important: how to mentally and emotionally prepare yourself for traveling with your family.

✨ Learn simple, powerful strategies to set yourself up for a calmer, more connected trip — from creating space to breathe, to letting go of "perfect trip" fantasies, to finding small tools that help you stay present along the way.
