Which ways the Beach? Santa Maria to Austin Roadtrip Family Style

I love road trip posts with pictures. That's a very cool wagon. Now I want one!

 

"Are we there yet?"

 

Doesn't get any better than that!

 

Absolutly perfect, when my kids were small we'd load them in a big truck and run cross country for truck shows in N Y or Valley Forge and Kansas, those trips you don't forget.

 

Man Texas truckers drive fast...reminds me of Baja where you are going over the speed limit and they still catch you! 80mph speed limit means 85 I guess

 

Fantastic!! Have a great time. Your boy looks to be having the time of his life.

 

good stuff! thanks for the ride along....

 

See, you don't have to choose between livin' the life and family life. It's all just a matter of attitude. Nice wagon too!

 

Nice nice nice!!! A big thumbs up from me.

 

good deal man,looks like the kids are having a ball,be safe.........

 

Yeah man, now this is pure Americana.
You have a great looking family there.
Welcome to Texas.
If its your first time to the Round Up, get ready for an awesome experience.
Keep a close watch on those little ones and have a good time.

 

Lunch stop in Ozona, then it's off to Austin!

 

I'm sooo jealous. My daughter would go nuts on a drive that long. Looks like a lot of fun.

 

Hope I see you guys down in Austin I'm might bring my 64galaxie wagon similar look too yours with wheels

I'm jealous for a couple reasons. A family road trip. A 59 Chevy wagon. Austin.

Yeah, they haul ass out in west Texas. Great fun but be careful!

You have a beautiful family. Hope you have a great time.

 

This is Awesome!! My wife would NEVER want to do this! Such an awesome experience for everyone involved!

 

Awesome...I can't wait till my son gets a little bigger and we can take some trips together. My wife isn't down for stuff like that in the kind of car my Plymouth will be so I guess I'm gonna have to find a cool wagon or Suburban!

 

Thanks for sharing! You are creating great family memories! I love road trips with my kids as well. The first time I loaded my two boys up in my 52 Chevy and headed to Austin, they were 2 and it was a blast.

Great stuff!!

When I was your kids age my family took our chevy wagon from Santa Maria to North Dakota to visit our grand parents almost every year for ten years, until the late sixties, some times pulling the old shasta trailer! Good times!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Love this thread. Look for my shirt/art booth indoors. Free stickers for the family.

 

Fantastic, your kids will have those memories forever.
Safe travels.

 

So awesome!! YOU sir are an awesome dad! Keep safe and please keep posting picture.. These road trip threads are one of my favorite kinds!!

 

Inspiring! Makes me want to buy a station wagon. What a blast from the past.

 

Internet at the hotel is down and we drove 700 miles today, so day 3 update will have to wait...lots of pictures And a good story from today but you will have to wait!

Thanks for all the great comments guys!

 

Memories that will last a life time! In 2001, I drove the Hot Rod Power Tour with my then 9 year old son. We drove from New Jersey to San Bernadino and back in my old 55 Chevy. He is 21 now, and still talks about that road trip as if it happened yesterday! Enjoy the road family style!
