ROAD TRIPS DON’T
HAVE TO BE PAINFUL
Include the Whole Family
Once the travel games no longer pique anyone’s interest, try an activity that can be fun for the whole family: a traditional road trip game. If you have a car full of storytellers, try “Fortunately, Unfortunately.” The rules are simple. The first person starts by saying, “fortunately,” and mentioning something good about the road trip or the destination. The next person (moving clockwise) then follows by saying something “unfortunate” about the previous person’s statement. Take turns with every passenger in the car. If someone stumbles, they get a strike; three strikes and you’re out. The last passenger standing wins. We get it. Sometimes passengers don’t want to play games. Occasionally, they’d rather relax or take a nap. However, your listening material doesn’t have to be limited to Dad’s favorite music. Instead, consider listening to a family-friendly audiobook or podcast, which can make the longest and most boring parts of your trip an entertaining or educational experience. Almost any popular book is available in audio form, but it can be hard to find an enjoyable podcast. “Transistor” is a science-focused podcast that explores subjects kids and adults will find fascinating. Or if you’re looking for something fictional, try “Storynory,” in which the narrator tells fairy tales and legends from all over the globe. Play an Audiobook or Podcast
Summer is right around the corner, which means you’ll soon pile the whole family into the car, ready to brave the road for a vacation. Everyone knows that riding in the car for hours can be torture. But with a little creativity, you can turn the worst part of a long trip into a fun event.
Pack a Travel Game
When the excitement of the family vacation starts to wear off, keep the peace and entertain your kids with a travel game. Many board game manufacturers offer travel-sized versions that are easy to pack and play in the car. Before your next road trip, consider purchasing digital Yahtzee, which packs all the fun of the classic game without the dice, or IQ Fit, a logic game with over 100 challenges. Both games cost around $10 and can provide hours of entertainment. Testimonials SEE WHAT PEOPLE ARE SAYING ABOUT US
“My daughter was in a horrible accident that was caused by some teenagers in another car who decided to play ‘chicken.’ She was in the back seat without a seat belt when the accident happened. Her face hit the back of the driver’s seat. The impact of the crash broke several bones in her face and around her eye. Thankfully, she has no scars! However, she did miss a lot of school and lost a lot of weight. “We decided to contact Holland Law Firm. Everyone there was kind and helpful! Initially, we spoke to Bob Holland, and he introduced us to Rob Usry. My daughter received her settlement over the next four years. All we had to do was tell Mr. Usry the facts, and he did the rest.
“Rob handled a personal injury case involving our son. It was a rather complicated and very emotional case, but once Rob became our attorney, he handled everything. He is an excellent attorney who is not only very knowledgeable about the law, but is also just a great person! His kind and calming demeanor was very helpful to my wife and me, especially during depositions and dealings with opposing counsel. He was always able to calm our fears and let us know that he was there for us, whatever we needed. Having Rob with us was about more than just having a great attorney in our corner — it was like having family fighting for us. He went above and beyond what I expected, and I’m sure he will for you too. I highly recommend him if you need an excellent and professional attorney who treats you with kindness and respect.”
“I was very impressed with the dedication and expertise of this law firm!”
