The good
We have cut up cantaloupe, strawberries and grapes in Tupperware, and then along with Caprisun, we refrigerated them overnight. In the morning, we simply put all of them in a soft pack cooler.
I also brought along educational puzzles from Creative Whack in large Tupperware for easier toting. As usual, we purchased everything from Amazon - who can forego the 2 days shipping? We got the X-Ball, Y-Ball, and 2 Ball of Whacks. These puzzles kept my son entertained for hours.
I don't have the signal on the phone (nor my husband's) so my spreadsheet in #dropbox is inaccessible. I can't access the internet. Furthermore, #Tesla cannot stream music and the GPS signal is kaput. We were in a lost world. We actually ended up stopping by a gas station to purchase a folded map just like when we were in the 90s - do you remember that pre-GPS era?

There are plenty of road trip games to download and print. But I downloaded License Plate game from #BatchLabs. This kept me intrigued, entertained, competitive and at the same time, brought my tween and me together.
The Unexpected
I planned every stop which included stopping for Superchargers along the way. Yes, I have a fancy spreadsheet which I will share with you at the end of the road trip. I know I needed to be flexible because well it's a road trip after all and anything can go wrong. During my research phase, not one person talked or written about: No signal on HWY 9 or HWY 1!! Yes, you read that right!

Anyways, GPS finally came on around the San Luis Obispo area and we were finally saved. I don't think my kids even realized anything out of ordinary happened. They didn't fall asleep once on the trip and enjoyed every bit of it on our way down here to Southern Cali. Stay tuned for more to come...
