We try to find something interesting to do on the way home from NC. Sometimes we play Are we there yet?, a kind of I Spy / Bingo card game mash-up. Other times we play the Alphabet game. Anything to help pass the 11-12 hours that we're couped up in the wagon.
One "game" we often play if the license plate game where we keep track of all the states we can find on the passing license plates. The only rules are that they cars/trucks/semis, etc have to be on the same road as us, and they have to be moving. Cars in parking lots when we have to stop don't count.
I forgot to print the sheets so that we could play on the way down to NC, but on the way back we saw 30 states and 2 Canadian provinces. We had plates from as far west as Washington (a semi, I think) and as far east as New Jersey.
We didn't get to count it because it didn't fit the rules we'd established, but we did see an Alaska plate in a parking lot. That started a whole debate about why we'd be really unlikely to see plates from Hawaii... :-)
