It’s vacation planning time and you’ve decided to embark on a new travel adventure with the family. Airfare is too expensive to buy for everyone, so a road trip is a viable option! And, honestly, one of my favorite ways to make memories with my favorite people.
Cause let’s be honest, a vacation has little to do with the destination and everything to do with spending time together, making memories and changing up the regular pace of life.
When you’re on a road trip it’s important to plan every aspect carefully, from snacks, to games for the kids, and having a good library of tunes.
Whether they’re a catchy tune to keep you awake on the road, or directly referencing a trip or journey, the right music sure to keep you entertained on your road trip.
