We love to travel when we can.
We have specific trips that we do every year that are a tradition with family, then we have other trips we try to add in to our year. Mini trips. Day trips. Expensive trips. Cheap trips.
We try to do what we can.
Traveling with 2 kids we try our best to keep our sanity as well as keeping it a bit fun and entertaining for them.
Here are some of our travel favorites:
1. Some type of technology device- a phone or tablet loaded with games that do not need a WIFI connection. A movie player. Anything!
Our littlest is entertained with just pushing buttons on an extra phone we have; the oldest likes to play games on it. We also have a movie player that we let the oldest pick one movie to watch on most trips (depending on length). The youngest will usually be entertained for a good 20-30 minutes, sometimes longer if we put in a Baby Einstein movie.
2. Books! Make a trip to your local library and check out books galore. Free and gives quiet entertainment! We put them in a bag right on the seat of the car next to my daughter's car seat so she can picks books to look at or read on road trips.
3. A kids road atlas- we love National Geographic Kids Ultimate U.S. Road Atlas
4. Updated music on your phone or music player as well as some downloads of a Podcast you are listening to or would like to listen to. One of my favorites is Serial. I get car sick very easily, so these two are on the top of my list!
I have many other tips and tricks and favorites when it comes to road travel. I will try to share those in another post soon, as well as list some of my favorite WIFI free games!
