ROAD TRIP! Seems like a great idea until you're trapped in a space smaller than Harry's cupboard under the stairs with bored children who have energy in spades!
With four high-energy kids, I've learned a few things that make traveling just a little easier.
1) Keep them entertained while the car is moving.
2) Make sure that entertainment won't be messy or space-eating.
3) Snacks & Drinks are essential at all times.
4) Rest Stops are the unsung heroes of travelling with kids. USE THEM. And not just the toilets. Use the grills, the grassy spaces, and the playground!
5) Pack as much food as you can, so you won't be eating out for every meal.
