The outdoors is just so beautiful this days. Spring is in the air, at least for most of us. Those with some snow right now, please bare in there; things will change soon. I bet you are longing for a good getaway with the family. We love day trips and plan a few throughout the year. Our first is usually during Spring Break or sometime before Mother’s Day.
Here are some of my go to tips for planning a day trip and enjoying it to the fullest!
Where to go – Planning ahead of time where to go is essential. Even though just hitting the trail is also exciting. But, when you have an specific time frame, work, or kids, or all of the above you will want to plan things out. Take in consideration where you are and where you want to go according to how long it will take there and the time frame you have set aside for it. We love short trips. The longest being a couple of hours away, like 9 hours and bellow. We have gone from Florida to Boston and loved it, but that’s not happening too constantly.
Who’s going – Is it a trip for two or a trip for the entire family? Whether that looks like parents and kiddos) or (parents, kiddos and grandparents. That will influence the entire trip. From where to go, for how long and what to take with you.
For how long – Do you have a week or an entire summer break? We usually take from a long weekend to an entire week. It makes the trip more pleasing, not too tiresome and we can plan for future ones more often. Shorter trips also means less expensive and that’s always a plus.
Budget for the trip – The longer the trip the more expensive, the farther the trip the more expensive. Plan out where you want to go, and for how long.There’s nothing like going out the door and not taking in consideration the gas needed, stops for meals and stopping to rest at a hotel. If you have family members that can put you up for a night or more it may be fun to plan a trip there first. That way you can taste the road trip first and have a feeling of an estimate cost.
Snacks for the road – When it comes to snacks everyone has a favorite. So, take that into consideration. We love frozen drinks and they are always a must have; like the new flavored frozen fun we get at Circle K when in some of our stops. Icy cold, fabulously flavored, dangerously sweet refreshment. Can’t ask for anything better. Although the Cheetos® Sweetos™ Froster is only available at select Circle K locations, you can visit the store locator linked here and check out a variety of tasty Froster options. It’s our go to when it comes to quenching our thirst and refreshing our long trip ahead.
We also stock up on some of our new favorites like the new Sweetos™ Froster, Sweetos™ Froster & Cheetos® Sweetos™ Bag Combo.
Have you tried them already? If you haven’t don’t miss out. They are available for a limited time only through May 5th, 2018.
Games for the trip – Nothing beats a good game plan for the long hours on the journey ahead of us. We sing songs, play “I spy”, draw, read books and send out loud to our hearts content. One of our favorite things to do is a singing contest game. Who can identify the song the fastest and start singing, there’s no need to know the entire song, it’s just for fun.
Make the adventure comfortable and have a great time! It’s all about creating new memories with the ones you love. Trust me, kids will never forget and the entire family will create a bond that will last a lifetime. Priceless!
Now, don’t forget that for a limited time only you can have a Sweetos combo for only $2.50 when you buy Sweetos™ Froster & Cheetos® Sweetos™. Sweetos™ Froster is an exclusive and limited time offer only found at Circle K.

I haven’t tried them yet, but I know my daughter is going to love them! Maybe I’ll pick some up on our spring break trip!
Yum, I always love eating stuff like this on road trips. We get those Frosters often since we have a Circle K right down the road from us.
I just finished off a bag of Cheetos and I know I’ll love those too. Your tips are spot on for planning a road trip. For me, budgeting is everything.
Budgeting is major key to planning a trip. Also, will have to try those cheetos!
I need a road trip real bad right now, this certainly makes me want to take the plunge
Snacks are a necessity when it comes to road tripping! 😉

Cheetos. W used to have it in our stores when I was a kid, but I can’t find it anymore in my city. Tham, I miss it. Great tips.
These are really great tips for getting road trip ready and the snacks look DELICIOUS!
These are some great road trip tips! I don’t go on nearly enough road trips, must rectify that issue. Who knew Cheetos had caramel ones?! Must look into this right away.
these are all great tips for road trip and with kids. i like all.
I love doing road trips and try and simplify the preparations as much as possible. These tips will help Thanks.
I love a good road trip. These were some awesome tips. But its important to plan ahead!
Those Sweetos would be a big hit on a road trip with our grandchildren.
I do agree that a person who wants to go on a road trip should set aside part of their budget to pay for gas, meals, and hotel rooms. Aside from that, they should also allot a portion to pay a towing service in the future. For example, if their car breaks down on a highway and the nearest repair center is 10 kilometers away, asking for their help can increase the chances of the driver getting their car back and continuing with the trip as planned.
I then traveled to Faro and several other places by myself. I use to have anxiety problems and was so co-dependent, but now I love traveling by myself. Being around hostels and solo-traveling has got me hooked on traveling more.
