7. Play car games. A favorite of ours is ‘Cops and Vette’s’. One point is given for every police car spotted and two points are given for Corvette’s. But if you call a car and it’s not correct then you deductrepparttar points. It even helps to spot that hidden police car before he spots you!

8. Bring plenty of pillows and blankets. Children are more likely to sleep inrepparttar 140478 car if they are comfortable.

9. If you plan to stay somewhere overnight before travelingrepparttar 140479 next day, pack everything you need forrepparttar 140480 night in one bag. That way when you get torepparttar 140481 hotel you don’t have to unloadrepparttar 140482 whole car. I buyrepparttar 140483 biggest Ziploc bags I can find and put my children’s clothes in them and write their name on it. Then I only take what is needed.

10. Checkrepparttar 140484 hotels to see if they offer free breakfast. Our favorite hotel to stay in is Holiday Inn. Kids stay and eat free. If we arrive atrepparttar 140485 hotel inrepparttar 140486 evening, they can eat dinner for free and then breakfastrepparttar 140487 next morning. Once again it saves on costs, especially if you pack your own lunch.

I hope these tips help you on your next road trip.
