Thinking of taking a road trip this fall? GREAT IDEA, my friend!! There’s so much to see – changing leaves, cute towns, crisp days, cuddle-able nights (like, where you can cuddle up with your sweetheart in a cute B&B somewhere… yeah) and so much more! But what do you need to bring with you when you go on a road trip? Well, you should have your standard emergency kit, but some things are important to have for specifically a road trip. Depending on what type of crowd you’re bringing along, check out these lists and good luck!
