Road Trip!!!!

Is there anything better then taking a road trip with your family? Do you remember road trips from when you were a kid?

We're getting ready to take one all the way to Nova Scotia to see our wonderful family and have a bit of fun! But sometimes the drive out is not so fun....

"Are we there yet?"
"I have to go pee!"
"I'm hungry!"
"Why are we doing this anyways?"

And on and on and ON......

Well this trip I promised myself would be different! I am making my 7 going on 17 year old boy a bin that will definitely keep him entertained!

On the lid I will glue a flat large piece of Lego.... So inside the box will be some Lego of course!  Maybe a surprise kit as well.  Something that goes with our trip, sea animals, boats.... will figure that one out tomorrow!

He will also be able to use the lid to colour his colouring books, or play some of the other games.

Here is a wonderful site chalked full of fantastic games to play:

We want to buy Battleship for Nicholas to play, but as a trial, we are going to try the printable version.  In addition there is always good old Car Bingo! Plus I plan on printing out maps of where we are going and getting him a compass to learn how to navigate our way.

If all this fails I will have a few more ideas up my sleeve that I have found on Pinterest.  If you decide to search Pinterest, be careful not to get lost!

I hope this gives you ideas on how to enjoy your road trips (short or long).

See you all soon!
