Hey everyone! Thanks for all the love on this video. We will be posting more travel ideas soon but come over to our TT page @mrsblinks to see what we are up to!
This idea is amazing, i would have liked the trip itself more than the destination haha, but another idea is leaving like, 3/4 am, so the kids sleep a lot in the car
I love these ideas :-) I just wanted to point out, that everything that you use for the most part is recyclable. So all the bags that are paper, and plastic, all the packaging is recyclable, the milk jugs recyclable, most of what you were using was. So it might be a good idea for the future to have a separate trash bag for recyclables. Especially since that was nine paper bags for a trip, as well as all the packaging for each of the nine items for each kid,plus everything. I really do love all the ideas you use though. I always thought the one with the trip at the top of the car, and you move the thing along with such a cute idea when I saw someone do it. I would have loved that as a kiddo. ♥️
Did anything hapen to the grab handles where the string rubbed when being pulled? I would have probably tide a ring to the geab handles then did the pully system to the rings. Where in FL do you live and where in GA did you go?
i used to not stay awake during road trips, so i was worried abt driving long distances. but i learned abt the license plate game at 17 and its the only thing that keeps me awake on the road bc it takes more effort than seeing a color, not so much effort that it distracts me driving. i can stay awake on road trips, it annoys my mom tho bc i randomly shout out a state name and she refuses to play. her loss lol
We used to leave in the evening after my parents got off work to drive from GA to Texas. My parents switched out while the other one slept. Some of my best memories growing up were sitting up late at night with my dad talking to him while everyone else slept. This was back in the late 70’s and all throughout the 80’s. We even make a few trips to CA that way.
Awwww..... I saw this and so many memories flooded my mind and heart from when my littles were actually little. My now adult "little" noticed I was doing the heavy breathing while trying to stop the tears thing and asked why I was crying. I showed her and she yelled out, "omg I remember pushing our paper car driving across our car on vacations and the pulley to share toys back and forth and the binders you made each of us, oh and the scratchers for movies, music or surprises. Those were the best times!" And then any chance of stopping the tears was clearly not happening and I cried like a baby. It just goes by way too fast. Its sweet to know that all those precious moments are still cherished memories for my kids even now that they are grown. Thanks for sharing this. 💗
I did 9 hour road trips all the time when I was little (cause my grandparents lived far) and I never got anything this nice. We had A&W, little TVs that strapped to head rests and LOTS of breaks. Play ground time was KEY to keeping us quiet. Also I can’t decide if I’m jealous of you lunch or think it’s too fancy for a road trip.
My road trips as a kid consisted of; drink, blanket and pillow, and no sleep the day before so I could pass out in the car 😂 To me it felt like teleportion because I'd just close my eyes and opened them when we were there - so I liked it, and my dad loved the silence 😂
This is such a great idea. As a granny now, I NEVER do long road trips (that's my children's fun job) but we do a lot of one tank trips about 3 hours away but having bags for them to do down and back would be great since they usually are in meltdown mode on way back. The pulley system is great because that's where my grands sit.
This reminds me of when I was little. I’d get one snack, one candy bar, a sandwich for lunch, and a book of dot to dot puzzle sheets. Great memories, I bet they’ll remember this fondly.
This is so awesome!!! I remember road trips being awful and stressful as a kid, the drives always ended with crying and yelling, this is a really cool way to make easier on your kiddos!😊
My mom used to tell us to look out the window. We weren’t aloud to use electronics or bring toys because the car would be too “messy” our 5 hour road trips sucked!!! We couldn’t pick what to play on the radio, and we only aloud to ask 1 question every hour (we asked a lot of random questions)
My parents drove from West Virginia to Florida for vacation when I was younger and the car trips were honestly so fun. Would leave super early each morning so I spent most of the morning still sleeping and new activities to do in the car each day of travel.
Guys please remember that the surprise bags are cheaper then you would expect! You can get some of those coloring things at dollar stores. They don't have to be expensive. Just little things to pass the time!
when I was five we drove to denver from houston and my mom made little activity for each bags for each letter of the alphabet; A might’ve been gluing together and decorating an ant, etc; there were construction paper scraps, pipe cleaners, makers, literally any type of craft thing you could think of, and we hung the finished crafts on the windows of the van. I remember the drive more than the actual trip!!
This seems so fun! I remember being a kid going on holiday and having our parents take us out of bed blanket and all and putting us in the car half asleep at 4am and just being under our duvet cover all morning sleeping in the car. It was so cosy and made the drive much better. Just something in the car that you normally wouldn't made it special. Like having toys and colouring books
gimme a blanket a pillow and mobile data and imm be alr but i definitely get that younger kids can get bored and want to rum around alot and get fussy so this is a amazing idea!
when I was travelling across Canada as a kid my grandmother would make goodie bags to open with a snack and a activity pack for every province, this really brought me back and made my day❤
I go on a 9-10 hour trip at least once a year I leave around 10 pm and the kids sleep almost the entire trip. It's nice for them they feel like it's a short trip
Wow😮 you’re better than me. We do an eleven to twelve hour drive with the children. We stop for breakfast after three hours, we stop for cake and milkshake at nine hours and then that’s it. They have films, colouring books, phones, etc with them. Most times they tend to fall asleep.
As a little kid, we would go on 6-18 hour long road trips fairly often. We would just talk or sing together, look out the window, or play games based on the cars, like license plate games or guessing which car we will pass next. One time, my mom tried to do some weird game/life hack thing where you had to find small items in a container of rice, but she never did that again. I think the surprise bags shown in the video are excessive. Obviously, to each their own when it comes to parenting. However, I think it is a lot of a paper bags that you are using. I suppose it doesn't count as "a waste" but it still feels wrong to me when you could just let the kids enjoy the time in their own way. The pulley is cool, and the destination thing across the front is useful, so you don't have to hear "Where are we?" every couple hours. All I have to say now is: I'm just glad they don't have iPads.
I love road trips!! I never get bored watching around! I use to carry the map and read all the signs! Now I carry the Google maps and measure the distance and watching around!
Bruh this seems fun as hell! When I was a kid and we went on road trips, we had to shut up, be quiet, and not dare complain. We got yelled at for needing the bathroom too! Lol. Good job making it easier on everyone
About to roadtrip around US(long time coming), currently will be solo. But this video reminded me of how smart my mother was with 6kids. She always had or gave us stuff to do. Sometimes games, reading, and many other things. But a favorite was I spy type games, making sure we had interacting time(practice for future) and leave alone time, when one of us, as kids do, don't want any attention, "STOP looking at me!!" Moments. HAHA. Great stuff ! May steal the pulley idea. Thanks for sharing & bringing me!!!🤗🤗🤙🤙🤙👏👏👏👏
My parents could not have afforded to give me and my siblings surprise bags, but we did a 12 hr road trip every summer to visit family. It wasn't always fun, but some of my best memories and bonding moments with my siblings happened on those trips. We played games together, watched movies, sang songs, and sometimes just laughed out faces off. Yes, there was of course some arguing but it didn't define the experience. It was the connections I made with my siblings that sticks with me now and makes those memories so fond.
Great ideas, when I was little, I remember long trips we had to do from sicily to Italy, I remember games we would do with vehicles or license plates and singing lots of singing 😊
I had to just stare out the window and wait till we got where we were going. But it allowed me to see so much of the passing country and cities. I saw things I still remember to this day decades later.
Man that drive from FL to GA and vice versa is hellish. Ive made the trip a couple of times from ATL to St. Augustine and Tampa and back. Hope you enjoyed GA!
We go on 12 hour trips to Mexico every year to visit family and we start at like 4 am and just sleep and then listen to music and then pray and then i just daydream. You stuff sounds fun tho
Lol. Our road trips were a lot of look out the window and play the license plate game. So glad your teaching your girls patience. Waiting an hour is so hard. 😂
I made surprise bags all the time when we would travel. That was 30 yrs ago. My kids still remember that. We didn't get to watch movies but I did books on tape. :) I always loved making these packs. We traveled 9 hrs a day for 3 days every year. :)
You certainly put a lot of work into keeping those kids entertained on the road I would also encourage you to teach them to look up the window and watch the scenery is going by and learn about their country and just be aware that there is a world outside of the vehicle and see what they can learn from that. There are games like bury the horses or looking for all the different license plates from different states and provinces countries. There are loads of things I can do that focuses on the world outside your vehicle. Lots of good learning can happen
OMG YOU ADDED OCALA 🥰 I GREW UP THERE AND WHENEVER SOMEONE ASKED "oh well where in florida are you from?" I ALWAYS HAVE TO SAY CENTRAL FLORIDA NEAR GAINESVILLE
My mom did this when we went to California to some degree lol Every hour we didn’t talk she would pass around a bucket that had toys in them and we got to choose one 😂 good times, good times.
I aspire to be this type of mom. Thank you your doing more than an excellent job!! You care enough to not just tell them to hush and look out the window...
This reminds me of when I was little. I’d get one snack, one candy bar, and a book of dot to dot puzzle sheets. Great memories, I bet they’ll remember this fondly.
My sister and I used to do 9 hour road trips all the time as kids since we lived in another state away from family. My mom just straight up drove us all the way there. She splurged on a portable DVD player, a few movies, and a healthy dose of music on CDs lol. We did that trip so often both me and my sister knew the way well before we could drive. I will never forget the time where we pretended to eat the seats because we were hungry... we were kinda weird 😅 Edit: typo fixed
Omg if I had this on my first road trip maybe I wouldn’t be sleeping 24/7 and feeling nauseous even though I’m not carsick 😭 Also the fact my brother didn’t go and I had no one to talk to did not make it any better 🙃
We drew in the car, played with our stuffed animals and brought our softcreation dolls and listened to music. 13 + hours to Austria every summer and winter 😎 Good times.
We travel a heck of a lot in my family, and most of that is done by car as it’s expensive to get a family of 6 on a plane. We’ve driven down to the Grand Canyon and had to drive 13 hours in one day, it was tough and we got caught in a huge snowstorm in Jackpot, Nevada. I was lucky to have the back seat all to myself for most of the ride and had a good nap, but it was definitely hard being stuck in a car for 13 hours straight as a 10 y/o.
Does anybody else remember the activity desks that used to attach to the backs of car seats so kids could draw and do stuff? I don’t see them anymore, probably because they’re a huge hazard if in a crash lol
As I small child i vividly remember my mother buying us all iPods nanos, good headphones, telling us all to shut up, and if we were talking that we would get yelled at and we’re grounded. For context I lived 4 hours away from my dad and EVERY school vacation was spent with my dad… plus 6 other siblings in a car that only sat 6 people with seatbelts….
My best road trip hack when traveling with kids is to drive at night. Into the car an hour before bedtime so they have time to settle in and we are there or almost there by morning. Cuts out snacks, most bathroom breaks, car sickness, and being asked if we are there yet 1,000 times.
Y’all are so fancy. We have a snack bag in the middle and the one time my mom bought us this sudoku/crossword thing, we didn’t use it because we didn’t like it very much but she tried
Hey everyone! Thanks for all the love on this video. We will be posting more travel ideas soon but come over to our TT page @mrsblinks to see what we are up to!
I love seeing when people road trip through where I’m from because I feel like my home town gets so over looked lol
Lived in that state for 11yrs, I just moved 9 months ago to a different state. Missing where I grew up, hope the scenery peaks ya'lls fancy 🙂

Imagine getting 9 surprise bags :(
what about the way back
I just get my phone charge and earplugs and told to shut up
@@stevielynnsbowtique852 ok bob 🤨
@@Melanie8363__ what’s that supposed to mean?- 💀
I just get a sandwich and a orange
My parents started trips at 4am...it was great, slept, wake for breakfast, there in no time.
And you can spend that whole day wherever instead of getting there at like 3pm
Mine parents starts out trips at midnight
same
Same. Now I do the same with mine
We always left at midnight. I never understood why until I went on my first road trip as an adult with children. 😂
My mom would be like “heres your phone and a can of pringles now dont talk to me”
🤣🤣🤣
That’s sad!
👍👏👏👏🤣
@@HuskyLabMama Nah. That's real life.😂
🤣👍👍
We played I Spy, Password, license plate game , and listened to music. Save money for the the final destination ..
Yep, I agree, especially with a family of that size
Well, just looking at the surprises they got, they were only a few dollars a piece. But what's password???
@@itsme_savv28 I also wanna know what password is, my family grew up doing road trips regularly
i used to not stay awake during road trips, so i was worried abt driving long distances. but i learned abt the license plate game at 17 and its the only thing that keeps me awake on the road bc it takes more effort than seeing a color, not so much effort that it distracts me driving. i can stay awake on road trips, it annoys my mom tho bc i randomly shout out a state name and she refuses to play. her loss lol
Same for us.
A 99 miles, a 99 miles, I can see a 99 miles; over hills and over mountains over valleys over plains and downward it went
This reminds me of the Diary of a wimpy kid book "The long haul" when the mom uses tips from family frolick or whatever
Yessss
I thought that was just me, especially the surprise bags
Yesss
fighting with my brothers is making the trip go much faster 😂😂
Same

I do a 26 hour road trip every year and that little state road thing on the roof is awesome and I’ll be doing the suprise bags

Bruh, my niece and nephew did 12 hour trips to Grama’s house four or five times a year with one toy, a blanket, some coloring supplies and like a DVD.
I LOVE the “where are we” line on the ceiling! I don’t have little kids and I still want to do that on my next family road trip 😂❤

Omgggg y’all pass by my dear ole Valdosta
Same thing I said 😂
Exactly what I said 😂
Dam so much stuff that's going to get thrown away as soon as they reach their destination.
Why so much stuff.
This is organized parenting!! 👏 amazing

What?? I want to go on your next road trip! My parents used to just tell me to sleep.
My parents: You got your phone ?
Me: yes
Them: don't bother me again
Omg the surprise bags is a great idea!!!! Perfect for long trips!
The preparation may seem a lot but it's a brilliant idea so you don't hear 'are we there yet' every hour.
I wish I had this kid of road trip experience as a kid. You are an awesome mom ❤
Great ideas, when I was little, I remember long trips we had to do from sicily to Italy, I remember games we would do with vehicles or license plates and singing lots of singing 😊
I had to just stare out the window and wait till we got where we were going.
But it allowed me to see so much of the passing country and cities. I saw things I still remember to this day decades later.
Usually at these road trips me and my siblings just slept the whole way unless my parents stopped for toilet breaks or food lol
Wow! A smart and organized mom. How wonderful. ♥️♥️♥️
Man that drive from FL to GA and vice versa is hellish. Ive made the trip a couple of times from ATL to St. Augustine and Tampa and back. Hope you enjoyed GA!
We go on 12 hour trips to Mexico every year to visit family and we start at like 4 am and just sleep and then listen to music and then pray and then i just daydream. You stuff sounds fun tho

Just a tip, use sanitizer to get pen off of skin easier, it might not all come off but it would definitely make it much better. Hope this helps :)
Honestly,I just enjoy stops,breaks and songs that I saved
Not gonna lie, the surprise bags every hour was legendary
Honestly all these hacks are SUPER smart!
When my family goes on a trip all we need is tablet head phones blanket that's all we survive 26 hours Ina car
I recommend bringing a clip Bord for drawing and you can use it as a table for food
Wow that sounds fun getting a bag every hour when I go on a trip I don't get any of thing but sleep and food and we go on a 18 hour drive
Wow I wish I did any of this on my 24 hour straight road trip with 8 people in a 8 person car
I probably wouldn’t do the hour boxes because it would make the trip feel longer because your wait for the hour to go by
You certainly put a lot of work into keeping those kids entertained on the road I would also encourage you to teach them to look up the window and watch the scenery is going by and learn about their country and just be aware that there is a world outside of the vehicle and see what they can learn from that. There are games like bury the horses or looking for all the different license plates from different states and provinces countries. There are loads of things I can do that focuses on the world outside your vehicle. Lots of good learning can happen
That pulley system is really smart lol I remember road trips as a kid and I was the pulley system
I don’t do crap with my parents in the car. I just sit there and listen to music💀
The surprise bag reminds me of the long haul
I love this! I got a four year old and we do not terrible on trips but it would be good to have a better plan like this one! Thank you for sharing!
OMG YOU ADDED OCALA 🥰

Ima have to do this. I go on a 14 hour road trip every 3 months with my fam😂
Lol she's basically saying it costs money to stay sane on a road trip with kids,we just hit up the different redboxes along the way
I love your videos I wish God give you 1 million
I aspire to be this type of mom. Thank you your doing more than an excellent job!! You care enough to not just tell them to hush and look out the window...
I grew up taking 8 hour road trips at least every other month with my 4 siblings. It's called movies and snacks. That's really all you need
This reminds me of when I was little. I’d get one snack, one candy bar, and a book of dot to dot puzzle sheets. Great memories, I bet they’ll remember this fondly.
