New England Family Road Trip Highlights (and Must-Haves for Surviving Travel with Kids!)

We’re just back from an incredible week exploring New England, and I’m so excited to share the highlights! I took about 10,000 photos—so paintings are sure to come—but in the meantime, I wanted to share some of our favorite spots and road trip tips in case you’re planning a trip up north.
