Summary

It’s about that time. Grandparents in faraway states are waiting, but getting in the car with all the stuff and possibly all the children can feel daunting. Hopefully, this episode will help that, but please note, this episode only covers being in the car, not packing or being on vacation or leaving or coming home. It’s just for being in the car, which is really the most exhausting part.

Stuff Mentioned

See how other Lazy Geniuses tackle road trips with Road Tested Road Trip Tips, a round-up of the suggestions you shared with me on Instagram recently.
Speaking of Instagram, you can find me on the app @thelazygenius. I’m usually there every Thursday around 12:15 pm EST, but this week we’re holding that commitment loosely because of some family medical appointments. I’ll post about it on the feed if I can make it.
My travel guru is Tsh Oxenreider who says the more your kids travel, the better travelers they’ll become -- which is true of just about anything really.
Join the VIP mailing list to get my monthly newsletter affectionally called the Latest Lazy Letter. Y’all, I take great pride in making that letter something you look forward to. If you’re not on the list, you can put your name on this list here.

0:00.0	Hello, lazy geniuses! You're listening to the lazy genius podcast. I am Kendra
0:06.1	Dachi and I'm here to help you be a genius about the things that matter and
0:09.9	lazy about the things that don't. Today is episode 129. How to holiday road trip?
0:16.9	It is about that time you guys, grandparents and far away states are
0:22.2	waiting. Beginning in the car with all the stuff, possibly all the children,
0:26.2	can feel really daunting. Hopefully this episode will help you with that. Okay, so a
0:30.3	couple of things before we start. This episode only covers being in the car, not
0:36.2	packing or being on vacation or leaving or coming home. It's just about being in
0:42.0	the car, the road trip part. I will say one of my favorite trip tips is leaving a
0:49.4	clean house. Coming home to a house in even moderate chaos is kind of a tough
0:54.8	ask. So that's just my favorite simple tip that has nothing to do with the
0:59.2	actual road trip. Come home to a clean house if you can. But in this episode, it's
1:02.8	all about the road trip and we'll talk about the three ease expectations,
1:07.3	entertainment and emergencies. Okay, I also asked for your favorite road trip tips
1:15.1	on Instagram and we have collected those and put them in a blog post you
1:19.7	guys. It's basically the best thing ever. I will share some of my favorites in
1:23.1	this episode, but there will be a link in the show notes to that post or you can
1:27.6	go to the lazygeniuscollective.com slash blog to find that post and any

1:36.9	Being in the car is a different thing than being in your house. That's obvious,
1:41.8	but sometimes kids forget that. Frankly, I can too. I think some great ways to
