🚗 The Grandon Group Hits the Road:

Well folks — July is officially here, and believe it or not, we’ve already made it through the first week! Summer is flying by faster than a tumbleweed in a monsoon, but there’s still plenty of time for road trips, family adventures, and chasing sunsets down the highway.

 

At The Grandon Group, Arizona’s #1 Brother and Sister Real Estate Team, we know the value of getting out of town for a little summer escape. Whether you’re heading up north to cool off in Prescott, east to the pines of Show Low, or making the classic Arizona-to-California trek for a little beach therapy — we’ve got your road trip checklist right here.

 

🚘 Road Trip Essentials: What You 

Really

 Need

 

 

Before you load up the family and hit the open road, make sure you’ve got these must-haves ready to go:

✅ Snacks, Snacks, and More Snacks

Let’s be honest — the snacks make the trip. Here are some road trip MVPs:

 

  • Red Vines or Twizzlers (pick a side, it matters)
  • Ranch-flavored Doritos (because obviously)
  • Trail mix or mixed nuts
  • Corn nuts (love ‘em or hate ‘em, they’re a road trip classic)
  • Beef jerky
  • Mini powdered donuts (breakfast of champions)
  • A cooler packed with ice, waters, Gatorade, and a couple sodas for good measure

 

✅ Entertainment Locked and Loaded

For those 5.5–6 hour drives to Cali (or wherever your adventure takes you):

  • Download playlists in advance (no arguing over music in the middle of the desert)
  • iPads/tablets loaded with games, movies, or YouTube Kids
  • Headphones for everyone — trust us on this one
  • A good old-fashioned book or magazine for those who want to unplug

 

✅ The Vehicle Checklist

  • Get the car washed — a clean car makes everyone feel better
  • Fill the tank before you leave town (last thing you need is to hunt for gas in Quartzsite)
  • Pack your bags so you can still see out the rear window
  • Program your destination(s) into your GPS or phone ahead of time

 

✅ A Few More Pro Tips

  • Bring extra phone chargers (car and portable)
  • Sunscreen — even in the car
  • First aid kit (for surprise cactus run-ins or scraped knees at a rest stop)
  • Blankets or pillows for the kids (and grown-ups) who might snooze mid-ride
