Have a map on hand as well. Pack a lunch and head out, or throw everything in the automobile and plan to stop at different locations. This might seem boring, and the kids might oppose that this is the worst of all family pass ideas, but once they are out there it is hard for them to not have fun exploring.
Road Trips
