5 Road Trip Essentials – Let’s Go

Happy Holidays!
My favorite time of the year is humming right along. Finally finished all the decorations, whew! I have been taking some road trips, which kinda slowed down some of my decorating and such, but I am back on track. However, road trips are so much fun and a quick way to rest and recharge! Right at the holidays is a good time for a short getaway, before things get super crazy and your calendar fills up. Now for me a road trip is 5 hours or less, anything over that, I would really prefer to catch a flight. However, with the right gear, you will be comfy and cozy on the way to an exciting destination!

Road Trip Essentials

1 – A cooler is a definite must have to keep your beverages cool while you are traveling. Warm water is no fun
2 – Once you have a cute cooler, you can also add some healthy snacks – energy bars, veggie chips, or nuts will squelch that growling stomach until the next pit stop
3 – When you are not the driver or the co-pilot, curl up in the backseat with a blanket. I love a fleece blanket for a seasons
4 – It’s a good idea to check-in with loved ones while you are traveling, a good phone charger is necessary. Call them when you make stops and when you arrive at the destination
5 – Cute drivers and riders must have sunglasses, sun or no sun, just because. In a classic style or something funky

There’s one more ingredient for a road trip – good friends!

Destin, Florida is absolutely the best. Beautiful town with good restaurants and loads of fresh seafood – yes, gimme my scallops, good shopping- outlets and malls, and a fabulous beach. Add two besties and let the good times roll. My other trip was to Charlotte, which was a blast too! Are you taking any quick trips before Christmas?
