Ahh, road trips, an American pastime. Nothing quite compares to the long journey in the car. Sometimes you find yourself going someplace you may go all the time, or someplace new you're seeing for the first time. Sometimes there will be roadside attractions, sometimes there will be distractions. The road are always a place for great memories to be made!

1. Are we there yet?!

The classic line. When you have been driving for a while and the final destination is still seemingly a world away, this question endlessly pops up in your head.

2. I'm hungry

Maybe boredom causes hunger. But when you've already burned through a season and a half of Netflix before lunchtime, your stomach will be asking for food.

3. I'm thirsty

Even with the air conditioning on, the hot sun gets through the windows. Soon it's very hot in the car, which requires hydration.

4. I need a bathroom break

This happens more than it should, but will happen no matter what if you're drinking water or anything else. I'm sure mom and dad are thrilled every time I tell them I need a pit stop.

5. Please not this radio station again

When dad is doing the driving, I guess he does deserve the right to control the radio. But when he won't stop screaming the words to “Hotel California” and the song comes on for the fourth time that day, you begin to wonder why your father is nuts.

6. The scenery is gorgeous!

One of the best parts about road trips is getting to watch everything go by.

7. Thoughts about the city you're heading to

Sometimes these road trips are more about the destination than the journey.

8. I think I'll recline my seat

Yeah, I'm gonna need a nap along the way.

9. Gas prices

Even though I'm not the one paying for gas, I can't help but study the prices.

10) “ROCK CITY!”

Other than the fact that it's an attraction, about a two hour drive away from me, my family and I also play a unique game where we try and be the quickest one to spot a Rock City billboard or barn on the highway. The quickest person gets a point and whoever arrives with the most points wins. It's actually a blast and a great way to pass time in the car. No matter where you live, pick an attraction near your destination and see who can spot the most signs. Doing it will allow you to release emotions in the cramped car and fuel your competitive spirit while having lots of fun!
