Can a road trip with three kids actually be… fun? In this episode of Adventures with Kids, host Arielle shares a detailed itinerary for a family road trip through Kentucky, Tennessee, and Georgia.

Discover how to maximize your travel budget using travel points and Chase/Amex offers, and learn the secret to keeping kids entertained for 7+ hours (hint: it's a wizard!). We recap our favorite stops including the mountaintop playgrounds of Anakeesta, the historic depths of Mammoth Caves National Park, and a meaningful visit to the Museum of the Cherokee People.

Key topics covered:
