Summer family fun Road Trip #7EFresh

This post is sponsored by our friends at 7-Eleven and Latina Bloggers Connect.  We love 7‐Eleven Fresh Foods line to offer a wider variety of better for you on‐the‐go options. #7EFresh. 

So it has become a family tradition, every summer we embark on a different road trip! We have had amazing experiences so far! For me road trips are special, you get to see things differently. You get to really spend time with your family, and get to see nature from up close!

 You get to play and even create new games to spend time while driving! our favorite so far is “name the country or city follow the alphabet. You take the most breath taking pictures and lots of silly ones! The great thing about pictures this days is that you can take like 10,ooo pics on a journey and then you just pick the 20 to 30 that are really good and print them to get your photo album done.

You get to tell the tales of historic places, at first you see the look on your kids (rolling eyes) and they are just hoping you are not going to tell yet another story of the route, the mountain or river you are going through, but then when you get back home and they are the ones telling tales about their vacations, you realize they listened to your stories and that they’ve learned something from it! (It’s like the most interactive way of learning history). 

In between points of interests and the countless driving car hours and the planned and unplanned bathroom breaks, you have also to eat! much of the time on the road, and we were always trying to avoid service stations but we have discover the new fresh line to go from 7-Eleven, Fresh food at 7-Eleven? You got that right! 7-Eleven can keep your family healthy on the road this summer. Making better choices while travelling gets a little easier with the Fresh Foods selection. 7-Eleven has better choices making it mom’s favorite go-to food stop on the road. So here it is, #7EFresh food to go:
