Family Vacation

We’re hitting the highway for a family beach vacation! The challenge, a twelve hour car ride, with three teenagers and two adults, fun wow! Long road trips have gotten easier thanks to i-pods, DVD players and video games, but the eternal question still remains, “When are we going to get there?”
To help make the journey more enjoyable, I found some fun car games online http://www.momsminivan.com/bigkids.html
Oh, and most important, I’m packing great snacks for the ride.
Here’s what I’m packing…
1. Cut Fruits and Vegetables - High sugary snacks can get the kids hyper so I choose to go with natural foods.

2. Water Bottles- Staying hydrated on a long trip is important.
3. Trail Mix – Satisfy your sweet tooth with a dried fruit and nut mix.
4. Peanut Butter & Jelly Sandwiches
5. Cheese Sticks & Crackers
6. Paper Plates, Napkins and Utensils
7. Paper Towels, for accidental spills.
8. Hand Wipes – to keep everyone germ free.

Have a safe trip!
