Why we love to road trip with Rainbow Girls

There are two sayings “It is the journey not the destination” and “The more the merrier” that definitely applies to a road trip with Rainbow girls.  During our trips, we, the moms, have not only bonded and learn so much with each other but with the girls. It is fun to watch the girls bond closer and find out new things about each other.  The excitement of a girl when she settles into the vehicle and says “The only other state I have visited is Florida,” can not only be seen but also felt.  Then as we transverse into a new state, the whole group yells- “We are now in…..”  As an adult advisor/chaperone, if you listen, you can hear the things that the girls would not normally express, their fears, joys and crushes.  You can hear the other girls support and offer advice to the girl.  In the midst of laughter, the bonds of not friendship but sisterhood are formed.  Then, a question is asked of the adults that the girls would not ask if they did not feel safe.  Finally, the inside jokes that are created during the trip, that later in a moment of stress for the girl, as an adult you can mention it and watch the laughter and joy return.  This is why we love to road trip with Rainbow girls.  They are the best and make the journey the best part of the trip.
