My husband and I are leaving on a 800 miles road trip Sunday. What are good ways to pass the time?|125773

What are good travel games? Trivia? etc.

We stocked up on magazines and ITunes already.

  • pull over and have sex every 75 miles if your not driving and on a bus go in the bathroom and do it

  • When travelling in Canada or the U.S.A, my husband and I tend to listen to the CBC or NPR respectively on the radio non-stop. It_s available pretty much anywhere throughout the country, and you_ll always learn a lot through the variety of programming they have and will never get bored. Best of all, the programs tend to incite a lot of conversation - and debate - between us.

    Travel games will get old really fast...you_re better off just chatting and staring at the scenery.

  • I always like to take the cards from my Trivial Pursuit games with me on road trips.

  • and IPOD with speakers is a good start.
    Get a trivial pursuit board game, but just use the box of questions.

    I have a cd, that is sooo fun. Its called Battle of the Sexes.....

    check walmarts game section for CD type games such as that.

    You can also do I SPY games...or picking letters or numbers on license plates...kinda kiddish, but it works.

    Find different radio stations at each area you drive thru....Listen to the news.....

    Take a camera and dont forget to take pictures!!

  • Take an Ambien or a Soma and just let your husband drive.

  • Books on CD/tape.

  • Cross word puzzles. The person sitting can ask the person driving and the person sitting writes down the words.

    or Travel Scrabble: the person driving calls out random letters from signs and billboards. The person sitting then has to make some words and a sentence with the words. This can get very silly.

  • One great way to pass the time on a road trip is to pick a subject that both of you are interested in and then quiz each other. For music, you could do _Name that Tune_, either by humming a few bars or giving a verse or two. Movies is another excellent category.

    Second, I don_t know how long you_ve been married or how busy your lives are, but a long road trip can be a great time to _reconnect_ with each other. You can review your memories about how you met, when you dated, your marriage, your early years, etc. Also, good marriages take work. This trip will be a great opportunity to review your shared goals, your life plan, and ideas for strengthening your marriage.

    Good Luck!

  • How much does a cab ride from the Indianapolis International Airport to the Indianapolis Amtrak station cost?|135406

    I_ll be flying into Indianapolis and then catching a train later in the night. Any other transportation suggestions from the airport to the train station are welcome.

  • Use expedia or similar to check the total distance and see if a cab with meter is an option.

  • Besides Washington DC, what are must sees in the Virginia area when staying close to Dulles?|144881

    We_re going to the Air and Space museum around Dulles on Friday, and back to DC tomorrow, so today we want to go somewhere within a two hour distance from Dulles.

    Where would you say is a must see? It can be historical, or just somewhere really fun.

  • There are several wineries to the west of Dulles in Loudon county

    Across Rte 28 from the Air and Space Museum is Sully Historic Site. There are guided tours that highlight the early 19th century life of the Richard Bland Lee family, tenant farmers and enslaved African Americans.

    Manassas Battlefield about 15 miles southwest of the Air and Space Museum is a historic Civil War battlefield. There are lots of fields and sites to hike and walk and explore the first and second battle of the Civil War. Most of it you are on your own, with an information pamplet and monuments, markers and signs to read.

    Just south of the battlefield in manassas is splashdown waterpark. That can be alot of fun after hiking through the fields on a hot day. They have discount prices after 3pm.

  • Bull Run park and Manassas battlefield park are both cool. Civil war history stuff, but really nice very large parks even if you_re not into the Civil war. Bull run has nature trails, a pool and they used to have a ranger take small groups around and give them a little tour of a few of the sights, I don_t know if they do that anymore. The counties in the area of Dulles airport are Fairfax and Prince William. You might look them up and see what_s going on. Then there is Mount Vernon, the home of our first president. The estate, gardens and farm of Mount Vernon totaled some 8,000 acres in the 18th century. Today, roughly 500 acres of this historic estate have been preserved 16 miles south of Washington, D.C., on the banks of the Potomac River. Visitors can see 20 structures and 50 acres of gardens as they existed in 1799. The estate also includes a museum, the tombs of George and Martha Washington, Washington_s greenhouse, an outdoor exhibit devoted to American agriculture as practiced by Washington, the nation_s most important memorial to the accomplishments of 18th-century slaves, and a collection which features numerous decorative and domestic artifacts. There is an incredible amount of history in the area. I hope you have a great time!
