What I have so (not) creatively termed "car bucks." The kids earn 10 stars collectively (on the play paper dollar) and they earn a prize. Car bucks points are earned by being kind to one another, polite, patient, respectful, helpful, etc. This is by far the single most important thing I did on last year's trip. I'm hoping for the same magic this year.
Keeping everything in an organized "station" right next to the driver seat. "Mom, do you have a magnifying glass?" "Why yes, I do."
Drawers. Each kids has one. Inside are 7-10 outfits individually sealed in a ziplock baggie. This way, each night only requires an overnight bag instead of a huge suitcase to lug in and out at each stop.
My "Are we there yet" bus. This guy will move across the cord from start to finish during each day's drive regardless of if we're traveling three hours or eight. Helps to prevent SOME of the questions.
