My family typically goes on vacation together once every summer. It’s usually not a big, long trip. We tend to take about two days to go do something altogether. Last summer, we went to Six Flags. The summer before that we went to Holiday World. The vacation is always great, but it’s usually the car drive that gets to us.
Depending one where we’re going, we usually end up in the car upwards of at least two hours. Maybe that doesn’t sound like much, but when you’re in a car full of people with very different musical taste, just listening to the radio can become a battle.
That’s why I think getting a car DVD player before our next vacation would be a great solution to car boredom. We all love movies. I don’t know many people who don’t like them.
Talking my mom into this idea would probably be where this plan would fall flat. She’s a penny pincher. Most of the time she won’t buy anything unless it’s on sale. Luckily, since some time has passed since the idea of DVD Player systems was introduced, which naturally means that the prices have started to come down.
Not only have the prices fallen, but there are also more options available. My mom drives an Intrepid, which is a decent sized car, but once you pack everyone in for vacation, things tend to get a little crowded, so a great solution to that issue is using the headrest style monitors.
Of course, my mom and her boyfriend have suggested getting a bigger vehicle just because of the space issues we tend to face when it comes time to go on vacations, so there are tons of other options we could look at when it comes to buying car DVD players.
