Are you going somewhere this fourth of July? It’s the biggest holiday in the US and that means lots of time in the family car on long road trips! While many things can happen on a family road trip, healthy eating usually isn’t one of them…. well, until now.
SUBWAY created its restaurant locator (http://www.subway.com/Applications/locator/index.aspx) where you can spot various SUBWAY locations along your route so you don’t end up eating less-healthy greasy burgers or gas station food. And the restaurant locator is world-wide so wherever you go, you’ll find some SUBWAY restaurants to choose healthy foods from!
And, in the spirit of road trips, SUBWAY teamed up with National Geographic for the “Taste for Adventure” sweepstakes. Starting July 1, kids age 6-14 can tell about their most exciting journey (past, present or future dream adventure) in 100 words or less, for a chance to win an unforgettable Alaskan Family Adventure! Kids can enter online at kids.nationalgeographic.com (beginning July 1) or www.Subwaykids.com (beginning July 6) OR in-store!
So to start the ball rolling, SUBWAY sponsored a give-away at Genetics and Health! One winner will get the chance to win a SUBWAY car kit*! The kits will include: an insulated lunch tote for healthy snacks, a $10 SUBWAY gift card, car games, etc. (approximate value = $35-40).
Check out the contest rules after the cut…
For a chance to win a SUBWAY car kit*, briefly share in the comments your most recent family road trip!
- One entry per person per day.

our most recent road trip was to okc to see the memorial and go to the hospital there- long and hot and tiring
We went to the lake but also had fun stopping along the way at roadside produce stands, Amish stores and yard sales.
We drove to New Orleans and got lost. We could not find the turn-off and lost two hours. We decided to go home and have a picnic on the way back!
We went to sunny San Diego during our most recent road trip.
Our roadtrip was great we drove to nevada stopped at a few sights and had a great time.
We visited San Antonio. We went to the Alamo, went on the river walk and ate at Hard Rock Cafe. There is so much history there. My family would love to go back again! We had an awesome time.
We went to a music festival at a nearby town. It would have been great if it had not rained for hours.
Our latest trip was just in June to St. Louis to see the Arch, the Forrest Park area (museums, zoo, science), the Magic House and Grant’s Farm.
It has been so long since we took a road trip as a family. I guess it would be to Cedar Point in Ohio. I can’t think of anything particularly memorable about any of our trips there except being stuck in traffic!
We took a 2-long-day trip to see my side of the family. The first night away I saw Niagara Falls for the first time, which was really nice.
GREAT giveaway and maybe help kids to learn to eat healthier, no road trips yet this year

On our most recent family road trip, my oldest daughter puked in the car and we had to pull into a restaurant so she could go in the restroom and clean up.

We have never taken a road trip, only have driven back and forth to my Moms 3 hours away
We all went on a road trip to the beach.
Our most recent road trip was last August when we went to see my husband’s alma mater in Bloomington, Indiana. My oldest was 2 1/2, my middle child was 1 1/2, and my baby was 5 months. It was hotter than heck, and my oldest gets carsick at the drop of a hat. And whenever we were in a hotel room, my kids felt compelled to run around and work off their energy (which I am sure the people in the next room were just thrilled with.) We did have a lot of fun though, and will be going on another road trip next month.
Our most recent family road trip was to Virginia to see my sister-in-law & her family. We also visited several Civil War battlefields while we were there. It’s a beautiful part of the country.

Our recent trip was to Atlanta we had a lot of fun exploring different places and it is so beautiful and fun out there.
everyone got sick and we ended up returning early mverno@roadrunner.com
It’s only half and hour away but it was a great trip just the same. We drove to the beach and spent the day on the beach watching the Pacific Ocean. Our picnic lunch was delicious and we arrived safely home relaxed and pleasantly tired.
Thank you for the contest. Happy Fourth of July!
