\"\"<\/a>So, if you’re like me, your vacations are oftentimes road trips. There’s no better way to relax. You’re with the ones you love; you’re on your own time schedule, and you have the freedom to go on every little detour your heart desires. Perfect, right?<\/p>\n

But one second everyone in the car is all like: “Look, a chipmunk!” <\/em><\/p>\n

“Aaaaww, the hills are so beautiful; I’m so glad we didn’t fly”<\/em><\/p>\n

“O. . . M. . . G. . . ! That cropduster flew <\/em>right <\/strong>over the top of the car! That was AWESOME!”<\/em><\/p>\n

All in unison: “This is swell!” <\/em><\/p>\n

But then a few hours later everyone is all like: “If you play that Bon Jovi<\/a> song one more time<\/strong> . . . !!!”<\/em><\/p>\n

“I have to pee!”<\/em><\/p>\n

“I told you we should have exited back there!”<\/em><\/p>\n

And of course, from the back seat: “ARE WE THERE YET?!”<\/em><\/p>\n

It doesn’t take long for the young, happy family<\/a> to get started on a dysfunctional road trip<\/a>. \u00a0 But you don’t have pack muzzles and rope anymore to achieve the relaxing, scenic drive you were looking for. Why? . . . Because you have a Droid.<\/p>\n

Here are the top 3 reasons I MUST have my Android phone to take any sort of road trip:<\/p>\n

Reason #1: Keeping the Kids Quiet<\/h3>\n

While I don’t actually have any of my own, I often road trip in the company of young children. And this may come as a \"\"<\/a>surprise to some of you, but children get crazy bored on road trips. CRAZY bored. And I don’t know about you, but I can only play the Alphabet Sign Game so many times before I start thinking of new and creative ways to make the Silent Game sound fun again, and that’s starts getting cruel pretty quickly.<\/p>\n

Thankfully, my Droid help keeps my conscience clear and my sanity in check. It has some great, clean apps that can keep the kids busy for hours, and it sure beats letting them play Grand Theft Auto on their DS and hearing them talk about how cool it is when they run someone over. Here are some of my picks:<\/p>\n
