Does anyone still do this?
We are planning a trip to Scotland next year (we live in SE England) with our two DC who will be 18 mths and just under 3 at the time. We are already being offered loans of DVD players and hand held computer games.
I'm not completely anti-tv (the boys watch about 5 hrs a week, so not a huge amount) but not keen on computer games (neither have used them at all) and it got me wondering whether anyone still travels long distances with their DC without these devices.
Without wanting to sound all wistful, my three siblings and me travelled all over the country when we were kids with nothing but trusty i-spy, sleeping and making up words using number plates to keep us occupied .
Please reassure me that I'm not the only one contemplating life for my DC without constant technological stimulation!
