There has been a lot of buzz about audiobooks for road trips with kids! I am really looking forward to trying this out on our road trip this year.
The kids are usually either fighting, involved in some sort of scream, or begging for snacks when we are on a road trip. I am not complaining because for the most part, they are pretty well-behaved in the car (most of the time.. of course this wasn’t always the case).
Anyhow, the idea of using audio books on our road trip is one I can get into- especially since #4 will most likely sleep more than the others so I should have no problem finding audiobooks for our road trip with kids!
