Since summer is coming to an end, it's time for those final weekends away, which means one thing: ROAD TRIP!

This year my road trip is a little different. I'm driving 20 hours down to the happiest place on Earth! This is an extremely long time in a car without stopping, but here are some things to bring to make it just a bit easier!

1. Music

No road trip is complete without the perfect playlist! Find that old iPod you stopped using and load it up! Take some time before you go and download new songs and create different playlists for everyone in your car! When the music is good, those hours will fly by!

2. Map It Out

Having a GPS is a gift to your driver, but they can also cut out if you're driving through the countryside or a tunnel. Go a little old school and print out some directions to keep the ride going smoothly.

3. Cash

You should always carry cash with you, but everyone knows you're going to want to stop for food. Plus, tolls can be a real pain! Keep some small cash aside for those pesky things.

4. Car Chargers

Wires on wires on wires! You know your phone will die at least once on the trip.

5. Comfort

Neck pillows and blankets will be your best friend when you're in the passenger seat. Especially when your friend is blasting that AC.

6. Dramamine

7. Food

Food is key. Cut down that drive by not stopping for food. Bring anything you want. Snacks, sandwiches, gum, candy; pack it all in!

8. Books

Reading and coloring! That back seat can get really boring if you don't bring something to occupy your mind. Audio books are also really great!

9. Drinks

Pack a small cooler with some essential drinks. Add some energy drinks in there for when you need a little help.

10. Kits

First aid kits and emergency car kits are a must!

11. Camera

Sure, your phone is great, but sometimes you need something else.

12. Car Ride Games

Do your research or make some up! Time will definitely move faster when you're shouting out answers.

13. Waze

Download the Waze app. It'll tell you where there's traffic and how long it's been backed up.

14. Spray

Long car rides + closed space = scary (and maybe even smelly)!

Just keep calm and have fun with your friends!
