Tell me your tips for

AWD

traveling with your toddler. We are leaving tomorrow around lunch-time for the beach. We are hoping DS will fall asleep about 2 hours down the road and if he naps like he does at home that would put him waking up right around the time we get there close to 4pm. It's a 4 hour trip.

Please give me any tips you have on getting us through this ride, just in case he doesn't nap- which is highly possible. I have a bag full of cars, books and snacks. Anything else you can think of? Oh and we have a DVD player. He normally doesn't sit still long enough at home to watch a movie but we'll see if he will in the car-who knows. Thanks

Earplugs.

Seriously, it sounds like you have everything.  Bring some water so you don't get parched talking and singing all those songs.

DS is really into playing "I Spy" right now. We make it obvious ("I spy a white car" - when it is right in front of us, "I Spy Daddy", etc). He also is INTO pointing out every.single.bridge.and.overpass. and all of us yelling "1, 2, 3 WHEEEEEE!" as we go under.  Lord, it is all mind numbing but it works!

I get about 30 new books from the library and DD "reads" them in the car.  She loves it.
