Instructions
Tips for traveling with children:
- Bring pillows and a bed time teddy. Tell kids that it's a really long boring drive and they need to sleep, reassuring them that when they wake up, you'll be almost there. Repeat until children fall asleep. This works about 10% of the time but it's worth trying.
- Always pack a barf bag. Always.
- Find a creative way to block sunlight coming into kids windows so they don't end up with a sun tan on one leg. And they'll sleep better.
- Bring entertainment. We love listening to Adventures in Odessy (great stories with moral lessons that are entertaining for the whole family). An ipad is a good idea too for cartoons, but we usually break it out as a last resort.
Notes
- !Other necessary items:Straws, Paper bowls or cups, Zip loc bags, A large ziploc bag for garbage, A gazillion napkins, Baby wipes, Hand Sanitizer
