The art of traveling with the whole family largely consists of A) Not going completely insane, and B) Not letting on to everyone that you have, in fact, gone completely insane.<\/p>\n
Audiobooks can help.<\/p>\n
You just have to pick the right one. Otherwise you might just as well sing about the Wheels on the **^%$#@ bus for seven hours \u2013 this still<\/em> being better than the complete recorded works of Justin Bieber that your pre-teen daughter can and will inflict on you.<\/p>\n What\u2019s it going to be? It can\u2019t be too long \u2013 check the length, because you want it to cover most of the trip, but still reach a conclusion. It has to be something that every member of the family can \u2013 at the very least \u2013 tolerate. This includes mom and dad, who are as entitled to a vacation as anyone else. It has to be read well.<\/p>\n Goodreads is a review site by ordinary readers for ordinary readers. Here\u2019s a discussion about audiobooks for car trips with kids:<\/p>\n http:\/\/www.goodreads.com\/topic\/show\/140708-best-books-for-a-road-trip?auto_login_attempted=true<\/a><\/p>\n Here\u2019s my own suggestion \u2013 a classic pirate adventure, not too long, with chances for your best pirate voices afterward – Treasure Island<\/a> by Robert Louis Stevenson. At seven hours it\u2019s fine for either one long trip or a there-and-back\u2013again. It combines blood and thunder adventure for the kids (and dad) while being educational and classic literature \u2013 mom may like that part.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" The art of traveling with the whole family largely consists of A) Not going completely insane, and B) Not letting on to everyone that you have, in fact, gone completely insane.
