Spring Break is coming up lickety-split, which means it’s the perfect time to plan a family road trip. Before you pack your bags and strap the kids in, don’t forget these road trip must-haves.
Podcasts
Yes, the children may have their screens, but a road-trip is about family together time. There are scores of great podcasts that make for a peaceful (yet engaging) drive. Don’t know where to start? Check out Wow in the World or Stories Podcast.
Games (for the car and when you get there)
We all know the quiet game never last more than a few seconds, so a few car games will help the time fly by. Most classic games have a travel-sized edition (like Travel Scrabble or Travel Connect Four) to help keep your kids entertained on a road-trip or in any other boring back seat moments. Worried about tiny pieces getting lost in your car? Look for magnetic games. As a bonus, a deck of cards goes a long way on an unexpected rainy day once you make it to your Spring Break cabin or beach house.
Snacks
It’s fun to make a road-trip and Spring Break vacation special by gorging on snacks that you and your kids usually don’t get to eat all the time. Make your family-favorite puppy chow/Chex mix recipe or pick up a few things at the first gas station stop! (Hint: Rice Krispie Treats are relatively crumb-free.) On the subject of eating on the go, it’s also helpful to include hand sanitizer and wet wipes.
A Day Pack, ready to go
There’s nothing less spontaneous than seeing an insta-worthy spot just off the road and having to wait 30 minutes searching for the things you’ll need for an hour or so of exploring. Have a day-pack on hand with your family’s essentials, whatever those may be. (Like diaper bag items, water, camera, snacks, sunblock, etc.)
