Happy Little Friday [FIVE]!!

Happy FRIDAY!! An upcoming trip to visit my parents and family "back home" (3-4 hours, so not too terribly long but nonetheless long enough!!!) has inspired this week's Five on Friday....

Five things to survive a road trip!

1. CD or soundtrack. Or if you have USB or an AUX port in your car, you can play 
Pandora or I <3 radio from your phone!


2. Snacks and Diet Coke (But not too much Diet Coke or you will have to make frequent pit stops!)



3. Good book or magazine. Or if you're the driving, 
you and the passenger can both enjoy an audio book!



4. A game to help pass the time. I remember when I was younger we had "road trip bingo boards" and when we drove past something (like a cow or mailbox) we got to "cross" that image out until someone got a bingo! Other favorites are "In my grandma's chest" where everything in the chest must start with the same letter and everyone must remember each item before adding theirs to the list; the person who does not repeat them in the correct order or forgets to list an item loses.


5. Your camera. This is an essential because (a) you can document your trip and (b) you may want to stop along the way and take some pictures of some of the beautiful scenery! You never know what you may run in to!

    We love bringing comedy CDs on road trips with us...and if it's a long drive we have even listened to a book on CD...sounds weird but actually it was kind of fun! Happy Friday :)

      I never thought of comedy CDs-- that's a good idea! I love me some Kevin Hart! :)

    You nailed this post! I just roadtripped myself down to see my boyfriend and I was equipped with snacks and diet coke. I wish I owned books on tape. I love reading but it's not quite possible while driving. Hapoy Friday girl!

    Great ideas! We are driving up to Atlanta for the weekend(4hr trip) so we might just use some of these! I can't make a road trip without diet coke :)

    Whenever I go road tripping it's absolutely necessary to have gummy worms, orbit gum, and a sugar free red-bull!!
