If you have kids, it’s a given: You need to have things to do on a long road trip (for your own sanity and the sanity of your little ones). <\/em>Sure, you could let them cycle through every game on their tablet or let them binge their favorite shows and stream their favorite movies, but you’ve realized that tablets only work for so long. <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Now, if you’re traveling with teens, they’re capable of entertaining themselves for days on end with nothing but a phone. But is that what you want your vacation to look like? <\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

At the beginning of your long journey, you’ll need to decide what you want your family to get out of this trip–setting the tone early. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

And that brings us to the first — and most important — of many things to do on a long road trip…<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

    <\/ol>\n\n\n\n

    #1: Decide to Have Fun Together while on Your Road Trip Route <\/h2>\n\n\n\n

    Face it. It’s actually easy to entertain ourselves <\/em>on a road trip<\/a>. While you could break out the devices and let them have at it, those little screens don’t bring us closer together. They isolate us from each other. <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

    So first, choose – as a family – to have fun together<\/em>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    If your kids have large age gaps, or you’re dealing with a van full of moody teenagers, kicking off the family fun might feel a little awkward (at least at first). But as the trip goes on, they’ll come around if you keep the right tone.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    This isn’t to say that you have to ditch the screens entirely.<\/strong> They can be sanity-saving–but set designated “screen” times. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Okay, so if you won’t be on your devices—and that rule applies to you, too—what do you do?<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n
