Winshield Repair
A tiny rock hit your windshield and now you have to stare at an ugly chip? Maybe it’s not so bad. Or is it? The longer you ignore it, the more likely the crack will grow, or worse, erupt into an entirely obscured field of view. But, if you repair it quickly, you may not need to replace the entire windshield, so don’t wait! It only takes some cold weather or a bump in the road to put enough stress on it to grow that crack in an instant.
Call a repair shop such as AAA+ Auto glass shop Mississauga. They can do all kinds of auto glass repair such as Windshield Replacement, Back Glass, Door Glass, Quarter Glass, Stone Chip Repair, Window tinting and paint protection film and more. One driver explains why they were glad they got help from Auto Glass Mississauga as soon as possible: ”I had a chip in my windshield that turned into a crack. Before it got out of hand, I went to see AAA Auto Repair and they filled in the crack no problem. My windshield is as good as new and I didn’t have to replace the whole thing thanks to their skilled service”
The best thing about calling a repair company like this is that they will often come right to you, and they work with your insurance company so many times, you may not have to pay anything out of pocket at all (depending on your coverage). So what are you waiting for? If you’rev still staring through a crack while hauling the kids to soccer practice, don’t wait any longer.

Lay-n-Go Activity Mat
H
ere’s a cool new product that looks like a real winner. It’s an activity mat and toy keeper and toy transporter all in one. It’s called the Lay-n-Go. It comes in a travel size and a much larger room size version. I recently got to road test the travel sized version with my favorite 6 year old boy. My cutie-pie nephew has a collection of Beyblades and Legos toys that he was finally able to take with him to a restaurant thanks to the Lay-n-go. The size was perfect to lay out on the table to keep him busy with his favorite toys. Once the food arrived, it was easy to just swoop it up in an instant and set it aside with all the toys contained. We could tuck it into little sister’s diaper bag, or just carry it by its handle on the side.
This is a great idea for long road trips to keep those precious items close and contained when kids are stuck in their car seats for hours, or on an airplane. It was made of a very sturdy and durable material and looks like it would last for many years of being toted around. There is a pocket that can be used to tuck in the string once you have cinched it closed to contain the toys. We gave this product two thumbs up! Get it at Amazon: Lay-n-Go

Rolling Reviews from the Backseat – Dr Doom’s Fear Fall
The most thrilling ride for me at the Universal Studios Theme Park was in the Islands of Adventure park, and it is called Dr. Doom’s Fear Fall. You enter the ride with your party and are isolated from the other riders. Before the ride begins, a scary voice comes on and tells you that all safety protocol will be ignored. Then shoots you straight up into the air at what seems like a million miles an hour, and as soon as it gets to the top it shoots you downwards faster than gravity can pull you.
I had a great deal of fun trying to convince my younger sisters to go on it with me. They were terrified at first, but after they went on it once they each went four more times. The ride is very intimidating to look at but it is a blast to go on. The lines were also very short when we went with little to no waiting for a seat. The view at the top of the ride is also outstanding, with the whole park in front of you and the beautiful Florida landscape behind you. I highly recommend this ride to anyone who is looking for thrills at this park.

NOTE FROM ROAD TRIP MOM: This is a review by my road trip son! He’s helping me out with his own backseat opinions on some of our recent travels. Let’s give him a hand!

Rolling Reviews from the Backseat: Rip Ride Rock-It Rollercoaster
By The Back Seat Reviewer — Road Trip Mom’s Daughter!
On my recent trip to Universal studios, one of the most thrilling and original rides in the park was the Hollywood Rip Ride Rock-It. This bright red roller coaster covered in dazzling florescent lights could be seen from anywhere in the park. The fun starts the moment you get to the front of the line. Immediately after you sit down and pull your seat belt across your lap, you have 30 seconds to choose a song from a variety of music. Choices range from music by Fergie, to songs like I Will Survive; so everyone can get a song they know. If you don’t pick your song before the ride starts, on is picked for you. The song you picked will play out of speakers by your ears throughout your ride.
Unlike most roller coasters that have a steady incline that brings you to the top of the first hill, the Rock-It saves space with a vertical climb to the top of the park, followed by an equally frightening near-vertical drop. After that comes a series of stomach churning loop de loops and cork screw turns that rip through the park. The whole time your face is being recorded by a camera on the back of the seat in front of you so that when the ride is over, you have an opportunity to view and purchase your own music video. The only problem is that because this is one of the most popular rides in the park, the line gets extremely long and there is no express line, so getting there early is a must. All and all this an amazing ride that anyone who love roller coasters and music should be sure to ride.

Geography Car Game
The geography game is super easy to play. You simply take turns naming different cities, states or countries around the world. The only catch is that when it’s your turn, your geography point must begin with the same letter that the last person’s ended. Simple! If you have an atlas in the car, this game will have your kids scouring through it and learning new places.
Devra, my friend and frequent road-trip cohort from Parentopia.com, has played this game with her family (and me) for years. But somehow it always seems to me like there are a lot of geography points that start AND end with the letter A — Alaska, Alabama, Alameda, Australia, Angola, Argentina, Albania, … see what I mean? Next time I’m on a roadtrip with them, I’m using “Arkansas” as my secret weapon. If you can’t spell it, you won’t know that it ends in an “S”! And if that doesn’t get them, then I’ll try “Albuquerque.” Ha!
