I think Leonard has written a great book to share with his grandkids. It's all about their family stories, but they didn't seem that compelling to me. It was difficult to keep my interest level up through the whole book. It was especially disappointing to me that the local people and local venues they visit in their trip really only merit a brief mention. In many cases, those venues aren't even the catalyst for family story discussions. (  ) Jeff.Rosendahl | Sep 21, 2021 | ok - it tells the woes of a family trip in 2 RVs. Language makes me cringe, but is realistic from crusty grandparents and middle aged author. But not necessary either. (  ) deldevries | Jan 31, 2016 | Extremely funny; I loved it!

Mike Leonard wanted to give his parents the ultimate family reunion. And so, one February morning, three generations of Leonards set out on their journey under the dazzling Arizona sky. In the course of their humorous, often poignant cross-country tour, from the desert Southwest to the New England coastline, the Leonards reminisce about their loves, their losses, and their rich and heartwarming (and sometimes heartbreaking) lives, while encountering a veritable Greek chorus of roadside characters along the way.--From publisher description.
