Recently we had a road trip to another state. It was supposed to be a 6 hour drive but it turned into a 8 hour drive (stopping to breastfeed, change diapers, bathroom breaks, etc). Some things that helped keep my 3 year old busy was books, IPAD, & the dvd player in the car (which had his favorite movie PONYO in it)
I really enjoyed all the sights but unfortunately i didn't get to take any photos I found 1 photo I took of Me and Riley @ a pitstop. So future note charge camera before road trips. My cellphone (which is what I always use to take photos) was being used as a GPS on this trip.
When we got down to the last 20 minutes my 5 month old decided that he could not take another minute of sitting in his car seat. He began to cry and nothing seemed to make him stop. I went through the mommy checklist
- DIAPER?
- HUNGRY?
- GAS?
- HURT?
Nothing was wrong so we all had to tough it out for 20 more minutes. (any suggestions?) I am sure I will be on another road trip in the future & would love to hear what worked for other mommies out there. :)

Ugh, we've had tough it out moments too. New snacks help once they get old enough for them. Josie would only settle down for our Yo Gabba Gabba cd when she was a baby haha we got bored of that really fast.
