Late summer is the last good window for a family road trip before school starts back. These five ideas can help make yours a success.
1. Take an All-American Road
Plan a different kind of trip this year along one of America’s scenic byways, with beautiful landscapes, historic small towns, outdoor recreation, archaeological sites and diverse cultures along the way. Get inspired for your next route.
2. Try a few family road trip hacks
Family road trips often become favorite memories, even when they’re stressful in the moment. The right entertainment, organizers and sleep comforts can make the ride easier and more fun for everyone. Here are some easy family road trip hacks to try.
3. Listen to an audiobook together
Tired of the same playlists? Switch to an audiobook. You might doubt one story could keep the whole car happy, but plenty of books work for kids and adults alike. Pick an audiobook the whole family can enjoy and you may cut down on backseat squabbles, too.
4. Know what to do if you crash far from home
An accident far from home can be chaotic. Review these steps for what to do after a car accident before you leave so you’re ready if it happens.
5. Keep these 10 items in your vehicle
These essentials are worth keeping in your car at all times, and especially on a road trip. You never know what you’ll run into, so it’s better to be over-prepared. Follow the Boy Scout motto!
Most of all, have fun. These are the trips your family will talk about for years.
