On this last day of April vacation I spent the day with Eva. Andrew was in a day long camp at Karate and he was excited to be able to stay there for the day. I think this was really good for him to experience this. He had been looking forward to this for a long time. He ended up having an excellent day.
I took Eva to Morin’s for breakfast and she loved it. I enjoyed having a great time chatting with her. She was so excited for the day because we were going to watch The Guardians of the Galaxy Volume 2 today. She has learned a lot about comic books and because she loved Thor Ragnarok so much she is interested in reading Thor comics. I’m excited that she has more interest in reading comics.
Three years ago we took a family trip up to New Hampshire to the Christmas Farm Inn for Thanksgiving. This is a three hour ride. It is a long ride for a couple of little kids but it isn’t too terrible. We had some DVDs to take with us and a car that had a DVD player for the kids. Now, thrown in a blizzard and an extra four hours to the ride plus the kids’ desire to watch the same DVD repeatedly for those extra four hours. You can only imagine how keyed up I was. Luckily that turned out to be one of the best trips ever as a family.
If we were to make the trip again one thing that I would make sure we do is check out all the shows that we could download on our Netflix app. That way we could load up the kids’ devices with some great content that they could watch on the ride. I think we’d be safe putting at least six hours of downloads on each device. That would be enough for many episodes of their favorite shows like Beat bugs, Super Monsters, Trollhunters and Project MC2. It is really easy to do, too. Just fire up the app and choose “Available for Download” then search and download your favorite shows. Definitely make sure that you choose “available for Download” first. This will save you from getting your hopes up that a show is downloadable only to find out that it is not. There are a ton of shows that are available for download but there are also some that are not. Follow my advice to prevent any unwanted frustration. Netflix shows you how road trips can be better in this video which has a re-purposed popular show intro.
