A family of six frequently embarks on road trips from Washington, DC, covering diverse destinations. Key strategies include prioritizing comfort, whereby kids wear relaxed clothing and keep pillows and blankets for rest. Limiting bathroom breaks by regulating water intake helps avoid unnecessary stops. Additionally, efficiency in meal breaks is achieved through preordering food, allowing for quick stops and minimal downtime. These practices contribute significantly to smoother, more enjoyable travel experiences with multiple children.
To survive long road trips, comfort is key. I encourage my kids to wear whatever makes them feel the most relaxed. My older kids usually wear sweats while my youngest often wears pajamas.
Unplanned stops on a road trip can be time-consuming and expensive. To limit bathroom breaks, I only allow my kids to drink water in the car and I don't keep water bottles by their seats.
I make stopping for meals as efficient as possible by pre-ordering food. While traveling, I make sure we can spend as little time as possible at food stops.
My kids keep a pillow and blanket with them at their seats to help them rest. Even though it can make the car feel crowded, comfort is more important.
