My 6 Essentials for a Road Trip

One of my favorite things to do is to get out of the "norm". As in my weekly, regular schedule. So I love going on road trips. A time to go do something fun, relax, or as I mentioned...to get out of the house! I always have my routine to getting ready for a road trip. The house has to be clean when we leave, the car needs to be taken care of, and I need to have my essentials.


I'm not going to lie, getting the oil changed can be such a pain. It really is the last thing I want to do, but let me let you in on a little secret. Go to Walmart to get your oil changed. Hitting two birds with one stone. While my car is being worked on, I go into Walmart to get my road trip essentials.

I didn't know much about getting my oil changed. I usually go for the cheapest, but the guys who worked there were so nice and helpful. We've got some miles on our car so they suggested getting the High Mileage Vehicle so that's what I did. They change it with Pennzoil products and the high mileage helps with oil leakage that can come with cars with high mileage. And the guys were so fun. very friendly and I honestly had a good time with them :)



Now what are my essentials??


1. Get a oil change! Of course. Since our car is getting up in the high miles we try to make sure we our on top of our oil changes, especially before a road trip.

 2. Camera. I definitely have to document our trips. If you don't own a camera, during your oil change you can go grab a disposable from inside Walmart.

 3. Car Games. We are a fan of mad libs. We've been close to tears with some of the funny mad lips that we've read. It makes the time go by fast! Something else to grab inside of Walmart :)

 4. Fruit (snacks). Some yummy and healthy snacks for the trip. I love me some grapes.

 5. Map. No one uses paper maps anymore...except my father in law ;) So we have our GPS, but I think it would be fun to use a paper map and then with a marker draw out your route and then keep it in a photo album or save it for another trip.

 6. MUSIC. Gotta have my music. Dallin and I like to have our music playing, but we do have different tastes in music. We are usually pretty good at switching and sometimes in between we will play songs we both enjoy and belt out for the other cars to hear :)


What are some of your favorite road trip essentials?? Don't forget to stop by your local Walmart Automotive Center to update your car oil!

  29. After barely making the playoffs the past two seasons, the Detroit Red Wings are 17-6-6 for 40 points, one off the lead in the Eastern Conference. They’re on pace for 113 points, which would be their best total since 2007-08, when they posted 115 and won the Stanley Cup. They posted 112 in 2008-09 and went NFL Jerseys to Game 7 of the Cup final.
    “This is the best team we’ve had here since probably ’09, and not necessarily point-wise, but direction-wise,” coach Mike Babcock told reporters the other day. “We have more players going in the right direction than we’ve had in a long time. That’s what good teams have. They have internal competition.”
    But here’s a little perspective: The Wings started 15-8-7 for 37 points last season. On the morning NFL Jerseys Store of Dec. 7, 2013, they were four points off the lead in the East. They were new nike nfl jerseys on pace for 101 points. They weren’t as good as they are now, but they wholesale jerseys shop weren’t far off. And they had essentially the same cast jerseys store of characters.So what happened cheap sale jerseys last season? Why did the Wings finish 39-28-15 for 93 points and end up with the last wild-card spot in the East?
