Road Trip!
If you find road trips to be a strain, plan ahead! Pack up a box of fun things, keep it in the trunk, and as needed, pull out something to keep everyone happy.
Keep this box at home, too, so that when you need to make a trip, it's already ready.
Items for the Road Trip Box can include balls to throw at a rest area, pad of paper and crayons, puzzle and maze books, trash bags, paper towels, hand-held video games, bingo sets and chalk and erasers.
As you're ready to leave the house, throw in a few trip-safe snacks like crackers, toaster pastries, peanut butter, cookies and raw veggies.
