A big adventure. It’s what Anne and Rob take their kids Rosie and Arlo on every year since before Rosie was even born. Once a year, they all pile into their car and travel for a good chunk of time, usually six weeks was that number if I remember correctly. In this episode, we sit down with the family while they were stopped in Riding Mountain in July. You’ll hear more from me than usual this episode because I spent the first half hour of the interview unaware that I had forgotten to hit the record button twice — meaning it wasn’t actually recording that whole time. We talk about their trip so far, what it’s like to travel with kids and how it changes as they get older and why it’s important to Anne that her kids experience the world through travel. In the later half of the episode, we catch up with Anne now and talk about the rest of the trip and how it went, and what’s in store for next year’s big adventure.
