As a child, some of the best family times I had was with my sister and parents playing games. I have memories of driving to Florida, with my parents in the front seat singing to the radio while my sister and I tried to beat each other at Milles Bourne, Boggle or travel Connect 4.
I will never forget how we would have to climb over the toys and games to get out of the car at a rest stop. In fact most of the time the stuff poured out of the back of the car because we had so many games to pass the time.
We have tried to pass on this tradition with our family, as we still try to have family game nights, especially on family vacations. One year we rented a condo in Florida, and went to Wal-Mart. They had all the classics on sale, Clue, Life, Monopoly. We bought them all and played games every night. Yes we had our electronics, but playing board games made us play as a family.
We also enjoy playing games in the car together when Montana was young and we were on a long road trip.
