Josh is joined by a special guest co-host for this month’s listener episode…his wife, McKenzie! While Seth is away, the two catch up about Mackenzie’s recent trip home to western Massachusetts for her high school reunion, including nostalgic visits to her old campus, time with both parents, a newly renovated porch and chimney that sparked plenty of conversation, and a stop at the recently reopened Bridge of Flowers in Shelburne Falls.

They also hear some fantastic listener stories, including a Girl Scout cross-country train trip, childhood summers at a remote Canadian cabin, and a trip to Spain that swapped a highly anticipated Barcelona soccer match for an unexpectedly awkward all-day olive oil tour. Plus, Josh and Mackenzie answer listener questions! Watch this episode on the Family Trips YouTube or Spotify, or listen wherever you get your podcasts!
