Make the Most of Your Summer Road Trip

It is officially summertime and GiftWorksPlus knows that now is the best time for a road trip adventure! There is nothing better than enjoying the company of family and friends out on the open road. In some ways, a road trip is an ideal vacation; you save money by avoiding flights and you get to see so much more along the way to your destination. However, if you’re traveling with kids or teens that get bored easily, it can be a tough to enjoy the drive. Here are some ways to keep younger passengers occupied so everyone has an enjoyable trip:  

• Pack a Bag of Activities: In addition to your regular travel necessities, pack a bag of things to do on the drive. Have kids bring backpacks full of games, coloring books, Mad-Libs, and extra portable chargers for iPads and phones.
• Over Pack the Snacks: Bring plenty of food to snack on for when people get hungry. Pack plenty of healthy options like apples, bananas, carrots, and hummus or raisins in addition to granola bars, chips, and cookies. Keep snacks in a cooler with some juice or soda. Then be sure to make the cooler easy to reach so you don’t have to pull over every time someone needs a snack.
• Plan Out Your Route: Be sure to research your driving route for fun places to visit along the way and make sure everyone has their own phone or camera to snap pictures with.

  To top off your trip, be sure to frame your photos from the road to make the memories last. GiftWorksPlus has you covered with everything you need to keep your memories alive.
