When you were a kid, did you and your family ever pile into a station wagon for a family road trip?

If you did, you're not alone. Lots of families used to do this, and many still do.

Rich Ratay has written a book about this time-honored summer family tradition. He’s author of "Don’t Make Me Pull Over: An Informal History of the Family Road Trip." 

Ratay spoke with The Show about what led him to write the book.
