And hopefully Crumpet will be sleepy some of the time in the car! Ack. I think all your ideas are great and I agree about the dvd player - sometimes it is a sanity saver!Nicole {tired, need sleep}https://www.blogger.com/profile/13395532136969657091noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8724801943841790034.post-65204366620519879472010-05-13T20:08:00.406-04:002010-05-13T20:08:00.406-04:00You're amazing, Kim. I just remember spotting ...You're amazing, Kim. I just remember spotting and tallying up license plates every time Westinghouse transferred Dad and we had to pile into the car for yet another boring long-distance move. We did take books with us, but since we all got carsick, they were of little help. The lifesaver for our parents was probably the clothesline rope that divvied up the back seat into thirds... until John came along and they had to invest in a station wagon. Then, of course, we still used the clotheline but fought about who would get to sit in the "far back." Poor Mom & Dad probably wanted to use that clothesline rope to hornswoggle every one of us by the end of those long trips. In any case, you're wonderful to make the trek. I hope Sammy AND you will have lots of fun with your respective cousins, en route.

Seriously, I think you should add a map and a puzzle of USA to your list of supplies somewhere on the road. And thanks for all the ideas - we'll be flying soon and we need to be well prepared for this too. Have a very safe journey!Natalie PlanetSmartyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03531558038661679151noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8724801943841790034.post-45679634964652257352010-05-02T16:20:50.821-04:002010-05-02T16:20:50.821-04:00Have fun driving!
