14 hours with a 4 and 7 year old. Packed snacks, downloaded movies, made a playlist everyone could agree on. No major meltdowns, no one asked how much longer after hour 2, and we actually laughed together. Pretty sure I just leveled up as a dad.
Yo the playlist thing is genius. Getting everyone on the same music keeps the peace way better than arguing about the radio. Did you mix in some silly stuff or keep it all appropriate?
This gives me hope for our upcoming trip. We're doing 12 hours with similar ages so I'm taking mental notes on everything here.
Dude, 14 hours with no major meltdowns is a WIN. That playlist move is genius, I'm stealing that idea before our next trip. You crushed it.
This is huge, congrats! The snacks and movies combo is the way. We're thinking about attempting a long drive with our three soon and honestly this gives me hope.
14 hours with a 4 and 7 year old and everyone survived? That's a win in my book. The movie downloads are clutch. Which ones did you end up using? I'm always looking for the heavy hitters for long drives.

I'm jealous of your snack game. Every road trip I pack too much and then it's gone by hour three and we're hitting the gas station at inflated prices. What was your winning snack strategy?
