For the next road trip you take with your family, here are some tips for fun travel to be sure the kids are kept busy, and you are kept sane.
First, bring plenty of snacks, anything from cookies to pretzels, to keep everyone satisfied in between destinations or diners. As for drinks, cans of soda are convenient, but if you want the kids hopped up on sugar in the back seat it won’t be worth it. Instead pack bottles of water and Capri Suns, which have considerably less sugar.
Also have games ready, such as spotting games like going through the alphabet and having to find something corresponding with each letter. You can also buy car games such as trivia games to keep everyone busy.
If your budget allows, portable DVD players and a couple DVDs will definitely keep the kids occupied. Or bring along your laptop and a cooling pad with extra fans for extended use. Be sure you get a car charger for everything as well, for when the battery gets low. You can also burn some CDs with your favorite music to help pass the time. If you are into it, there are also audio books.
