Summer is officially upon us and I know many of us will be planning roadtrips or preparing for flights to summer destinations. Our first upcoming trip is in June to Oklahoma for my UBAM convention and to see my parents and siblings who live there! Now having a busy toddler, this prompted me to really think about what few books I could pack for the plane that would keep him entertained and be fairly mess free. I wanted to help take the guesswork out of it for you by presenting these travel survival bundles for all ages!
