Preparing for a Family Road Trip
Samples have been provided. All feedback is my own.
Summer vacation heralds the arrival of ROAD TRIPS for our family! With the kids out of school, it’s the perfect time to embark on adventures without disrupting their education.
However, long journeys can turn into hours of agony with the little ones unless we plan ahead.
Here’s a handy checklist of items we always take to keep the kids (and us) entertained during travel:
- compact blankets
- travel or standard pillows (useful for hotel stays, especially when they provide uncomfortable pillows)
- digital devices (like iPods/MP3 players, tablets, handheld game consoles, laptops)
- downloaded movies/shows (get digital versions of their favorite programs on the tablet or laptop)
- earphones (because listening to Frozen for the hundredth time can be a bit much for parents)
- puzzle books (word searches, crosswords, brain teasers)
- coloring materials (you can create personalized activity books with coloring pages, tic-tac-toe, and roadside bingo)
- snacks (like fruits, crackers, pretzels, chips, and some nut snacks such as Fisher Nut Exactly)
- beverages (opt for water… it helps reduce the need for frequent restroom breaks)
I always pack some nut-based snacks since they help satisfy hunger for longer until we find a good dining option. We particularly love Fisher Nut Exactly snack bites, a delightful mix of crunchiness, sweetness, and nuttiness.
Fisher Nut Exactly is the first of its kind, comprising roasted nuts paired with whole grain popcorn, each piece dipped in choices of milk chocolate, dark chocolate, peanut butter, or salted caramel.
This delightful mix of sweet and savory not only tastes great but is also gluten-free. With only 15 to 16 calories per snack, and no artificial preservatives, Fisher Nut Exactly makes for guilt-free and enjoyable snacking.
Starting this June, you can grab Fisher Nut Exactly in easy-to-carry, resealable bags at various retailers across the country.
The two available flavors include:
o Almond Popcorn Dipped in Milk Chocolate
o Pecan Popcorn Dipped in Salted Caramel
Our personal favorites mentioned above:
o Almond Popcorn Dipped in Dark Chocolate
o Peanut Popcorn Dipped in Peanut Butter
Stashing these alternatives not only deters excessive sweet cravings but also helps limit calorie intake. Snacking boredom during drives can add up quickly.

I found out that these are not yet available in my area (northern California). Darn, they look soooo delicious! I’m hoping to win some so I can try them and that they will make their way to stores near me soon!

What I adore about Fisher Nut Exactly is the combination of nuts, chocolate, and popcorn in a delicious snack. I want to try the Almond Popcorn dipped in Milk Chocolate!
