Here are some suggestions for your road trip playlist! You don’t have to play kid music the entire trip. In fact, I highly recommend you play music that you like. “The driver gets to pick the music” is always a rule in my car! Remember, it’s your vacation too.
These are all “road trip” themed songs or have to do with cars or vacation. There are many suggested road trip playlists similar to this all over the net.
