We are a road family. In fact, we just got back from a long weekend with my SIL who lives 5 hours away. We keep a bag of toys that we only use on trips and I try to update it with something new before leaving. This trip the big hit was bubble wrap. My MIL taught my DS how to pop the bubbles and he spent a good portion of the trip with a 12 inch sheet singing "Pop goes the weasel". Meanwhile, I got to ride facing forward.
