Comment on Holiday Travel Made Easy (Part 2): Travel Technology You Want with You on the Road by Jess

Wow, we have one of these items (our car’s CD player) and our 7 and 9 year old travel just fine!! We rely on the alphabet game and other traveling games (like car bingo!), Mad-Libs, workbooks, we discuss the history of America and the location we are driving through, we read books aloud, sing along to CDs, talk about what we are going to do and what we have already done, and enjoy the views out the windows. We have purposely bought our vehicles without DVD players because that is not what road tripping is about to us! We are taking a 4000 mile drive this summer and will have a blast getting to know one another instead of being separated by technology. I know some kids are so used to technology everyday and a long trip would feel like a punishment without it, but that life is not for us. Family first, technology later!
