Music Makes the Miles Move Merrily Along!

“On the Road Again”, “Let’s Go Riding in the Car-Car”, and “This Land is My Land” are just three of the songs we love to sing to help make the miles pass more quickly.   Taking a long road trip is a favorite vacation pastime.  Our country is so beautiful with an abundance of natural wonders, historic sites, and interesting, fun stops along the way.

Summertime is a special opportunity to go, see, and do.  My family, including the grand dog, just drove 1000’s of miles up and down their whole coast, again, so they could visit more well-known places they had previously only read about.  It’s always an adventure for them and an educational experience.    The kids learn to read guide books and maps and help choose where they will stop and stay.  They have already traveled through most of our states and visited many of our national treasures.  After the trip they can apply their newly acquired knowledge and extend their experiences in a myriad of ways.

“Are we there yet” is just not in their vocabulary -- thank goodness.  They sing together, read, watch movies, talk, and have the thrill of experiencing each new place their car takes them to.

Kimbo CDs and DVDs add to the success of any trip.  Sing along to songs from Car Songs, FavoriteSongs for Kids, Songs About America, and take stretch breaks with fitness CDs such as Cool Aerobics for Kids and Feel the Beat.  Relax and unwind at night with Yoga for Kids or Yoga and You, and then you will have Sweet Dreams knowing you have made lifelong memories while you were “On the Road Again”.
