Depending on how you prepare, a summer road trip can be a blast or a nightmare – especially with kids. If you have a big trip planned this summer, be sure to check out these summer road trip tips:
· Stock your vehicle with fresh water and other hydrating drinks.
· Prepare a first-aid kit that has any necessary
medications for your group.
· Try to limit luggage to one bag per person to lower the vehicle’s weight.
· Have some road trip games and songs ready in case boredom strikes.
· Know your route ahead of time instead of relying purely on a GPS.
· If you are bringing pets, brush up on pet driving safety.
· Curate playlists of music and podcasts in advance.
· Map out stopping points, from clean rest stops to affordable gas stations.
· Practice patience, which will come in handy if there’s construction.
· Try to enjoy the scenery, and occasionally, pull over to explore national landmarks, parks, etc.
· Finally, if you find that you are too tired to drive, then don’t! Rent a hotel room and get some much-needed rest.
