Listen Up!
Find a podcast that discusses a place you’ll be visiting. Prior to our visit to Vicksburg National Military Park in Mississippi, I downloaded a podcast about the historic Civil War site. We listened to it in the car on our way to the park and it made our visit so much better and more memorable. The kids were excited when they saw something they’d heard about on the podcast and breezed through the park’s Junior Ranger program.
Listen to a musician or band from the state you’re visiting. Listening to the band Alabama while driving through Alabama on day 2 of our trip sparked a great game that lasted all summer: listening to musicians from the states we were driving through. It was so fun to introduce my kids to Jimmy Eat World (Arizona), Whitney Houston (New Jersey) and the Killers (Nevada). And sing our hearts out to songs they love by Michael Jackson (Indiana) and Kacey Musgraves (Texas).
Finally, if your trip is a cross-country one, choose an audiobook series for everyone to enjoy. My children range in age from 5 to 11, so we chose the Land of Stories series and it was a hit with everyone (especially me!). Nearly every chapter ended with a cliff-hanger, prompting the kids to beg for one more chapter. We even played it in the hotel before bedtime (which I loved) to calm energy and get ready for sleep. We were wrapping up the series’ fourth book when our trip was finished!
Fine! I love to travel and similar “shake-up” of consciousness. My husband and I have been travelling around America for several years in search of adventure. Unfortunately, with the advent of the coronavirus, travel has become more difficult. But fortunately, I have an excellent job on the site https://supremedissertations.com/ that helps me escape from a boring life. However, I hope that soon everything will return to its former track.
The Rudest Things You Can Do At A Restaurant
People dine at restaurants all the time, but that doesn’t mean they should behave the way they do when they eat in the comforts of home.
“Eating is the only biological necessity we sometimes do as a social function,” Jodi R.R. Smith, president of Mannersmith Etiquette Consulting, told HuffPost. “We have to eat to stay alive. But we’re supposed to be eating in a way that enhances, rather than distracts from, other guests’ dining experience.”https://www.ladieshabits.com/post/The-Rudest-Things-You-Can-Do-At-A-Restaurant/0
I really liked your post. I noticed a lot of useful facts about travel, I will keep in mind!
Wow you are brave! So impressed you not only attempted this trip but conquered it! Might just give me the courage to do the same someday 🙂

I’ve never done such a long roadtrip but I love the idea of snacks only and a podcast based on your destination. So smart!
