You are brilliant. Just you wait...that word will probably be in the dictionary in 5 years. ;) I recognize that air protect car seat that your son is riding in. Our 3-year-old has the same one and we love it! Last thing: I am always *stunned* by families who say they never snack in the car. I don't know how they do it! I always try to bring snacks - even for short trips across town. .-= Stephanie´s last blog ..<a href="http://metropolitanmama.net/2009/12/running-gear-giveaway-bumbleride-indie-or-indie-twin/" rel="nofollow">Running Gear Giveaway: Bumbleride Indie or Indie Twin</a> =-.

We don't really do much traveling though, as the bulk of our family is within 10-20 minutes of our home. .-= Jessica´s last blog ..<a href="http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/gishers/dppt/~3/MJ6vjy_ovmM/" rel="nofollow">Start spreading the news..</a> =-.

When you are on your third kid you kind of do away with the diaper bag. If the whole family is going somewhere I always pack a small cooler of drinks and make turkey and provolone sandwiches on wheat rolls and pack chips and cookies or something. Of course all it takes is a whiff of fast food and we are pulling up to grab a few cheeseburgers and fries!

I get extremely grumpy so on long trips we make stops to Micky D's to grab at least a large fries. My fiance however can function just fine if he's hungry. Which is why I make sure he drives :) I can NOT function if I’m hungry. I get extremely grumpy so on long trips we make stops to Micky D’s to grab at least a large fries.

We don't have any kids yet, but we are taking our cat. When I start to get cranky, my husband asks when the last time I had something substantial to eat was, and it's even more important to keep track of it on the road because there are fewer ways/places to get something decent to eat. I had intended to make some apple chips, but can't find an abundance of apples. I'll take some grapes, and my husband will stop along the way and get some chips, but I try to avoid salty things on road trips because they dehydrate me. I will, though, be taking some Special K bars--not especially healthy, but oh so yummy! I imagine when we have kids, we'll make sure to keep a whole cooler of fruit & veggies with us--if they're anything like their dad, they'll be happy making fruit meals three times a day.
