Was TAR 8 a little bland?  :lol:   It's a nice summer show for the family to watch, it would fit in with Nick or Disney.  :js:

TexasLady:
Thanks for the recap apskip.  :tup:  The part I enjoyed was watching the kids control their dads path to get the refreshments. It really was close and they did a good job. (It disturbed me though when Mom Cootes dropped/threw the refreshment tray on the ground. It was a teachable moment.  :groan:

BTW apskip, the "Long Long Trailer," starring Lucie and Desi Arnez, was my favorite movie when I was a kid and I always wanted to travel around in one just like they did. (Except for the uphill drive up the mountain.)  :-[  I think I'd have loved your family trips... unless you had a mean brother.  :lol:

Texas Lady,

Since putting anything on this thread appears equivalent to a private conversation, I will share with you some insights of my travels. I was the oldest child, so none of my siblings was in a position to give me any grief. We traveled all over New England and eastern Canada. One of my father's favorites was Old Orchard Beach in Maine and another Prince Edward Island. We got almost as far as Windsor in southwest Ontario. Occasionally we did a trip to the south(I remember "South of the Border" at the NC/SC state line) and went as far as Key West (you can't get any further south in the lower 48 states). After I went to college my silbings and parents took a long trip all the way to the west coast and back but I was too busy and not interested enough to join them. I bet most people would have enjoyed these trips. I liked where we went, but not the on-the-road experience itself.

I have see the Long Long Trailer multiple times. It was from the early Desi/Luci era, 1953.
