Long Road Trips With Kids Can Be Fun {Giveaway}

When my kids were little, I’d pack each one a bag with surprises…crayons, paper, small games, snacks. They were thrilled to have their own little travel bag to keep them busy.

For a road trip to be fun you need to make frequent stop, have lots of good snack and good music.

We try to find places to stop to either sight-see or have a kind of food that we may not be able to get in our area. It is tough, since our son likes to “just get there” so he would rather not make any stops, even pee stops.

I bring my ipad and snacks!

Lots of road trip games! And music. Lots and lots of music!

Music! Music can make or break a roadtrip 🙂

We make road trips fun by taking the time to make rest or snack and scenic stops along the way…

My husband is not a talker when he is driving unless it is in farm country. Then i can point out certain features of farms, etc. If not, I amuse myself by looking for certain landmarks.
If I am with my daughters, we usually chat and laugh all the way.

Music and games is how we have always passed the time.

Lots of loud, upbeat music! And the alphabet game!

I ensure the kids have mp3 players and their 3DS / DSlite with them. Occupied kids = a peaceful ride.

Play travel games & have a great road trip playlist.
