Once we took a car trip from Wisconsin to South Dakota. This was when the first Harry Potter book came out on audio and the voice of Jim Dale enthralled us. We finished to first book and the kids forced us to detour to a city large enough to have a Barnes and Noble or Borders so we could buy the 2nd book in the series on audio. Thanks for reminding me of that.

I have discovered that books on tape save our lives on long trips! Our boys would much rather listen to a story than watch a video when in the car, which was a shock to me. The bigger shock came on the trip when I was reading a book to my husband that we both wanted to read. I had no idea the little guys in the back were listening until we got to Grandma and Granddad's house and I stopped reading. Revolt! The boys couldn't wait to get back in the car so I would finish the story!
