Just got back from vacation, where I drove a staggering ~55 hours roundtrip* to see family, friends, and my hometown which I hadn't been to in 7+ years. Believe it or not, this was the Mustachian travel solution, as flying the entire family would have been much more expensive and polluting.
Back to my work commute. I've updated for the month of July.

An interesting conundrum now presents itself. My wife just got a new (much better) job that is essentially co-located to mine. Additionally, we decided to change my young daughter's pre-school location to one we feel is much better and happens to be located near our places of employment. Put all of that together, and it looks like I will be driving to work for the foreseeable future, though with the bright side being that there will be three of us in the clown car (rather than one). Not excited about the commute, though I am happy for my wife and daughter.
So for the purposes of this challenge, I could count each commute as 1/3 clown car, but instead I think will be signing off at this point, since my original motivation was to encourage me to make a more Mustachian choice (and now there is little choice, since a) one of us needs a car in order to respond in a timely manner to any issues with kids at home and b) it will be hard for us to both complete the extra hour of commute associated with public transportation).
I still intend to ride the bus any time that my wife stays home, and to continue my 20-mile biweekly bike rides into work. And of course, I will also continue to follow this thread and route on my fellow Mustachians as they keep up the good fight!
*I generally hate the ubiquitousness of tablets and overall screen time, but damn do they serve a good purpose when cooped up in a car with family for an ungodly amount of time.
