Definitely. The dynamic is so different, compared to when the whole family is in the car. My mom still talks about the times when, as a child, her dad would drive her to go shopping in Duluth, and how special that made her feel because she had his undivided attention. Those are the moments in time that your kids (and you) will always remember.
My youngest has received the lion's share of the 1:1 road trips with me because of her travel lacrosse. I love these trips because we talk, joke, and listen to music in the car. No stress, no reservations, no drama. I hope that my kids feel the same way that my mom did.
