Welcome to Five for the Road!
Five for the Road is a family travel blog that shares travel destinations, trip itineraries, and theme park guides to inspire your next family trip.
Hi! I’m Leah- Welcome to my Blog
Hi- welcome to my little corner of the internet. I have been a family travel writer sharing our experiences and destination guides since 2016. It has evolved year after year as I’ve grown, and my family has grown. From traveling with toddlers to traveling with teens, one thing that has not changed is prioritizing family time together- and travel is a great way to do it.
I live with my husband and 3 kids outside of Rochester, New York. I love family travel because it provides an undistracted opportunity to connect with each other and create amazing family memories.
I love creating epic family vacation itineraries that allow us to see a lot of different places during one trip. I share all the details from where we stayed, what we did, where we ate, and everything that goes into planning a great family vacation. I have collected all of them together in this post: Family Trip Itineraries You Need to Start Planning
I am also a huge theme park enthusiast! I love visiting Walt Disney World and Universal Orlando, as well as finding unique theme parks to include during our travels. From immersive lands and attractions, to the unique resorts and dining theme park travel is my specialty.
My goal is to help you plan a great trip, no matter how far from home you travel. Feel free to reach out if you have a question, I love hearing from my readers!
