Road Trip Essentials



Spring Break is right around the corner. Kids will be out of school for a week and it is almost time to start traveling as a family. You have to remember a lot of stuff when you are traveling especially when you’re a parent. Kids have so much stuff that they need. It’s easy to forget things while packing but unless you are going somewhere where there’s not a store, it’s no big deal. It’s sometimes hard to think about everything you need to do or pack when your mind is on vacation mode.  You just want to relax and spend time with your kids and not worry about work or cleaning.  Making lists is helpful and double checking. You can give your kids lists too to ease the packing some.

Here are some travel necessities you will need for a great road trip:

Healthy snacks so you don’t have to buy them at the gas station

Bottles of water or other beverages

A cooler

Lots of books and books on cd

Notebooks and pencils

Colored pencils and coloring books or crayons but remember to bring in the crayons or you will have a huge mess from the heat.

Hand sanitizer when you can’t wash your hands in the car

Chargers and adapters

A standard outlet you can plug in the car is great for laptops and DVD players

Movies

A portable Wi-Fi adapter

Batteries for toys and cameras

Cameras

Baby wipes are great for messy hands if you get ice cream

Lip balm for dry lips from running the air conditioning
