Surviving a long car ride

We've all done it, and yes somehow we have all survived. Long car rides are definetly not my favorite, but yet they sort of give you the forced time to do that stuff you should have done a long time ago, like: finishing that scarf, oops that thank you note, and all that other good stuff. So I recently went on a car ride it was only about two hours, but I can consider myself a pro because for vacation we went on a road trip and we drove a total of: drum roll. . . . . . .  22 HOURS!! Yeah it was pretty long, but I think the farthest we went at one time was only like 8 hours. So at least it was spaced out. Tuesday night we drove about 2 hours away to my brother's basketball game-he is on a travel team-. Well just look below on how to survive.

What you will need:
Stuff to do- see below-
Snacks- see below-
a car- see above- Lol. Do you see the car up there. hehehe. This one ingrediant is the only NECCESSARY one, because obviously to go on a long car ride, you need a car.

STUFF TO BRING TO DO

yarn and knitting or crocheting needles if you can, I like working on my knitting in the car.
Ipod- if you have one, on some ipods like the ipod touch you can play games and you can also just listen to music-
Books- if you don't get sick-
portable DVD player and DVDs - if you have one-

There are tons and tons of things to bring. Just think, there are crossword puzzles and all that good stuff. Well now

SNACKS

Oreos- I had these on the way to my brother's basketball game-
Chex Mix- by the way, these are just ideas
Granola bars
Crackers
maybe a candy bar or two:):)

Well yeah! There are just some ideas. I'm going on ANOTHER long car ride, tomorrow, we are going to my grandparents house. It is three hours away. So please comment with ideas for stuff to do. And btw I will need guestposters in the next couple of weeks so if you could just email me at caverlylaura@gmail.com that would be great!!!! And everyone please go to my catcare11.blogspot.com blog and vote for the winner of the photo challenge!! And soon I will have run out of stuff to post about- already- so please comment with some ideas. Like photo challenges or something. Another photo shoot will probably be here soon, and I'm editing some pictures on picmonkey.com so there will also be some pictures from there!!
