My oldest son has been a competitive dancer for many years. We travel almost every summer to his national competitions - we go to Disney every other summer and that is a 10+hour trip just one way. We have also been to Texas and South Carolina.

These are some wonderful ideas. Maybe I will keep my sanity this road trip season after all!

Sanity? What sanity? I think that left back in 2002 when child number 2 came along ;-)

Fabulous ideas! I keep a travel binder for our long trips and these will be perfect to include! One tip - if you keep them in page protectors you can use dry-erase markers. Instant reuseability!
