Describe this trip activity or tip:
When going from PA to FL, I printed out coloring pages for my children to color (2, 5, 8, 11). They got to pick what they wanted me to find (to print out). Then I printed out 1 copy each and took to a copy store and made 9 more copies. The copy store even gave me a box to put them in (I had about 300 pages). This gave them each something to color--then they could throw them out or save them (not like coloring books where it is hard to tear pages out).

Other comments or suggestions to consider:
Also, new 1 subject notebooks for doodling or writing(depending on the ages). Also, coloring pages instead of crayons (no melting in hot weather).
