Tonight I made Go Boxes for the kids. These are travel boxes they can use for all future trips. They're sturdy plastic and large enough to use as lap desks in the car and to store most of their little things, like books, they'll want for the driving portion of the trip, but small enough to go on the floor of the car when they're not using them. I stocked them with cute erasers, mechanical pencils, pens, a spray bottle (for spritzing in the 100 degree heat. Spray bottle rule--no drinking out of the spray bottle--it's gross!), a travel journal and a sketch pad. They'll also put cameras, mp3 players, book lights, etc. in them.
Inside the lid we're glueing maps so they can put a dot on each state they've visited. They each already had a bunch of states to mark. Claudia has ten!

you truly are mother of the year. I just yell at my kids, "be quiet and watch your movie! Dad and I haven't talked in 6 months!"
o.m.g. go boxes is the greatest idea in the world. i think i might need one for myself for road trips!
