Car bingo worls pretty well with my boys. We print up a few dozen bingo cards using images found on the web that we could see from the road ... flagpoles, haystacks, post offices, cows, tractors, schools, silos, school bus, patrol car, bank, cafe, motorcycle, swing set, barn, and so forth. Then the boys make a x over the pic they spot. We have covered a lot of miles playing car bingo. Little dollar store prizes add to the fun.
Let me go for the obvious. DVD PLAYER! With ear phones!
I second the DVD player. And food. Lots and lots of food.
Perhaps you take separate cars? Hubby drives the kiddos, you cruise in style, air conditioning AND silence cross country.
i always check out books. hubby is silly. books are like our other babies - we don't lose them.
as for the car...beans loves the dvd player and tons of road trip food. snack and a movie? her perfect day!
and arkansas - you know that's close to me right? i mean not like i am going to rain on your vaca...i don't believe in stalking. but still that's pretty close!
and finally - happenings in the household?? anxious for more details!!
