@McDonalds The “NEXT” step is to turn every Family trip to @McDonalds into a “RelationTrip”!

Our road trips became a symbol of our closeness, our love, our commitment to always be there for each other.

What a PLAYGROUND!! And what an adventure for a kid! Even a big kid like me! An old carnival! We explored for hours!!⁠

What Will YOUR family discover on YOUR RelationTrip?⁠

So just what IS a “RelationTrip”??⁠
⁠
Well, simply stated, it’s a CUSTOMIZED JOURNEY. It almost always involves a CAR … ‘cause that’s what really maximizes the bonding opportunities AND turns the adventure into a legit SHARED experience.⁠

The perfect vehicle is a vehicle.

We will always remember the Elk traffic jam, and much more vividly than the ballgame we were heading to. Same with the tumbleweeds littering the road. We've never eaten a strawberry the same way without remembering our famous "STRAWBERRY" RelationTrip!⁠ https://t.co/9BE6UiI2G8

Details & Delays – 3 No doubt about it – CARS are the most spontaneous mode of transportation... There was the time that we encountered a herd of ELK blocking the local interstate when we were travelling out west. The entire highway was backed up – gridlocked for elk!

Details & Delays – 2 Those unexpected glitches that are part of every RelationTrip – they're the product of the SPONTANEITY that make the experience so unique and special. Life can be very routine – Road Trips are a far less structured environment. #RelationTrips #RoadTrip

Details & Delays – 1 We were delayed at O’Hare airport for hours and hours. But somehow, it seemed okay. We played card games. We made a video. The time actually raced by. This was the main reason that we were going on these Trips – to experience life TOGETHER. #RelationTrips

A Guinness World Record! – 3
We spent THREE hours building our LEGO segment. I can recall how much fun we had as layers were completed … trading LEGOS of different colors as we simultaneously traded laughs.
We were rewarded with our LEGO “Certificat d’Accomplissement”!

[RelationTrips @relationtrips]

RelationTrips Rewind: “A Guinness World Record! – 2 It was a LEGO lover’s dream come true! Inside were giant (and I mean GIANT!) warehouse-sized drums containing millions and millions of Lego pieces. Spence and I loaded up on Legos and found ourselves a working space...

[RelationTrips @relationtrips]

A Guinness World Record! – 1 A couple of blocks from the Biodome, we saw a poster about a one-of-a-kind event. “Participate in a Guinness World Record!” “Help build the longest LEGO Millipede in the world!” Our mission was clear: Be part of a Guinness World Record!

[RelationTrips @relationtrips]

A Legos WORLD RECORD was the surprise awaiting us on our RelationTrip called "The Main Event"!⁠

And just what is “Four-A-Dude”?? Well, it’s a Road Game that Spence came up with when he was about 10 years old. Simply put, it involves a deck of playing cards … a mini-basketball … a travel suitcase … and combinations of the number FOUR. #RelationTrips #RoadTrip

[RelationTrips @relationtrips]

We inflated the beach ball and began batting it back and forth. Then, Spence suggested that we turn it into a GAME – using the bed as our “court” Of course, there were all sorts of “rules” to be determined... “Bed Ball” was born. And Bed Ball became a RelationTrip staple for us.

[RelationTrips @relationtrips]

There is NO limit to the number and different kinds of CUSTOM games that you and your kids can come up with to play while you’re on the road. From the very start, Spence and I created our own unique (and often wacky) games that we would play on each one of our RelationTrips.

[RelationTrips @relationtrips]

It was on the "Double Play" RelationTrip that Spence first created the Siegel Boys very own custom version of Fantasy Baseball!⁠
⁠
And as with every other RelationTrip Road Game, a Champion was crowned along the way!⁠

Back to the Future-Japanese Style⁠
⁠A real trip down memory lane for me AND a new adventure for Spence ...as we traveled down the East Coast on our "Eastern Rebound" RelationTrip. Spence got to see the place where his Dad worked during college -- before Spence was even born!⁠

[RelationTrips @relationtrips]

TUMBLEWEEDS EVERYWHERE!!! For these two city boys from Chicago, it was an astonishing sight! ⁠
⁠
What kind of spectacular SIGHTS will YOUR family see on YOUR RelationTrip??⁠

[RelationTrips @relationtrips]

On our "Siegels Marching In" RelationTrip to New Orleans, there was plenty of basketball for sure. But what stole the show on this Trip was all of the amazing FOOD! Great food everywhere! Morning, noon, and night!⁠
