I always go by car, and I always bring a tonnnnnnnnnnnnnnnn of stuff. It's only an 8 hour car ride and I spend most of it talking with my parents, listening to disney podcasts with them, and listening to the music from Illuminations, so I don't take much to do in the car. Here's my list for a summer trip, like my next one in June:
