The Time We Left Mom Behind: A Holiday Road Trip Gone Wrong

One Christmas, when I was 12, my dad accidentally left my mom at a rest area during a long drive. We were 250 miles down the road before we realized she wasn’t in the car! Looking back, it’s funny, but at the time, it was pure panic. Now, we always double-check that everyone’s buckled in before hitting the road. Family trips can get hectic, so it’s smart to have a quick headcount before leaving any stop. Have you ever had a holiday travel mishap?
