Family Road Trips:

(NC)—Summer is the perfect opportunity to load the kids in the car, pack some snacks and take a good old fashioned road trip. Whether you're heading to a cottage or driving across the country, spending time with your family while enjoying a beautiful scenic car ride can be a meaningful escape. Unfortunately, the idyllic road trip is far from a reality for many parents. A more accurate description includes listening to kids argue in the backseat, endless stops for bathroom breaks and dealing with the never-ending battle over what's playing on the radio.
Here are some tips to make sure your road trip is one to remember (in a good way, of course):
• Game On
Plan out a variety of vehicle-friendly games like “spot that car” Bingo. Whenever a car drives by matching the photo on the bingo sheet, kids get to dab it. First one to make a line or four corners wins.
• Name That Tune
No matter how old, everyone loves to join a game of 'name that tune'. With Sirius satellite radio in the car, you can sample all types of music from nearly 70 commercial-free music channels and have one of the kids manage the score card. Winner gets their station choice for the next hour. You can even play in teams to switch it up.
• Are We There Yet?
Stop those pesky hunger complaints from striking and pack plenty of healthy and creative snacks like real fruit bars, trail mix and animal crackers.
• Something For The Kids
If your kids are like many who just refuse to sleep in the car, make the long drive bearable (for you and them) and check out Sirius satellite radio Kid's Place Live, a channel dedicated to commercial-free kids music and programming.
Just because everyone can't agree on a station, doesn't mean the road trip has to be a drag. Family trips can be a great opportunity to get to know each other better and build memories for years to come. Tips on how to make your road trip more entertaining can be found online at www.sirius.ca.
