First...some photos on the road:
Grandpa Bill and Callen (last stop on the roadtrip - to see Kevin's brother, his wife and our sweet nephew)
My favorite snack: Jalapeno Cheddar Cheetos. I'm so addicted! I know they're bad for me, but they are so good.
Kevin's favorite snack: Smartfood White Cheddar Popcorn - also very delicious!
Other snacks we love to have on hand:
We try to not drink sodas often, but occasionally, we'll get a Vanilla Dr. Pepper from Sonic. It's definitely our favorite drink on the road so we got one to share at the beginning of the trip.
And of course a good book to read when you're not the driver. Right now, I'm reading "Love and Respect" by Emerson Eggerichs. It is wonderful so far! He hits the "conflict in marriage" nail on the head! It's a little over $10 brand new, but if you get the Kindle version or a used one, it's under $10!
As for music, we usually just plug in our iPhones/iPods and let them shuffle with our favorite tunes. Sometimes we feel like listening to country, including my favorite...
Why is Josh Turner my favorite artist?? Let me tell ya... He has the most amazing voice EVER, he can hit notes lower than I can even imagine hitting, he's easy to look at (wink wink), he's an amazing family man and sings about his wife and kids in many songs, you never hear about him getting involved in negative celebrity drama, and most importantly, he's a follower of Jesus Christ and is very vocal about it. See his I Am Second video here.
Or sometimes we're in the mood for a little worship music. One of my favorites is Kari Jobe.
What are your favorite roadtrip must-haves???

ReplyDeleteI'm so glad that someone else loves those Cheetos like I do, Erika! Thanks for commenting! I love reading your blog and thank you for doing the link-up!
DeleteI adore Love & Respect! I can honestly say that it changed my marriage for the better after we participate in a Love & Respect small group. :) And, your music choices are perfection. I'm glad your trip went well!
ReplyDeleteThat's awesome, Jen! I'm so so glad to hear that it helped your marriage. I can already see it changing mine and I'm excited about Kevin reading it after I'm finished. Thank you for commenting!
DeleteI also LOVE Love and Respect- think it is a must read for couples! And Josh's voice- no other like it!!! Great for a road trip!!
ReplyDeleteHis voice is amazing, isn't it?! I'm glad you agree, Lyndsey! And I'm happy to hear y'all loved Love & Respect. I read about all the couples it's worked for in the book, but I'm loving hearing it from others personally. Thanks for taking the time to comment!
