As I sit here the night before we are driving ten hours home from Kentucky I am thinking about all the necessary items that I have used over this past week and the drive up here. Road trips are always fun, but the riding/ driving part is what I always hate. Riding in the car with my niece and nephew for ten hours I have discovered that there are many things that you need to survive. 

     The first necessary item is a DVD player in the car. Riding in the car for long amount of time is always a little easier when you get to watch a movie. We watched so many movies on the way up that I have forgotten all of them, but I do know that they were a life saver. Even if you don’t have a DVD player in your car you can always download some movies on an Ipad or computer. 

     Another must have for a road trip is spodify or some kind of music service. I have the premium account for spodify and it saved our trip on the way up here. We decided to have a mini dance/singing party and my phone provided the music. When you need a break from the other people in the car, you can always pop in the headphones and zone out! 

     Books are always a good road trip plus. My aunt gave me a new devotional book that I will be checking out on the way home. I also downloaded the kindle app on my new mac so I will most definitely be checking out some books. Any recommendations? 

                                                   Visiting places is always fun, but there is no place like home.
