The Most Scenic Drives in America: 120 Spectacular Road Trips
I love to bring this book on every road trip. No matter which direction we go, we try to do at least of the of the scenic drives that are suggested.
Blankets- We try to keep it cool in the van, and at least one of the kids get really cold. So, we have a few blankets so they can cover up.
Pillows- Some of our drives can be very long. Pillows make it more comfortable to sleep, or to do something like draw or read on your lap.
Audio Books- We have listened to lots through the years. We love series like Jonathan Park Radio Dramas and Adventures in Odyssey, such as The Ultimate Road Trip: Family Vacation Collection
. This year we downloaded some audio books from Audible (get an Audible Free Trial
, like Misty of Chincoteague

Kids’ backpacks of stuff to do- Each kid gets to bring a backpack of their favorite things to do to pass the time. It might be toys, art supplies, or books to read!
