What fun - lol; planning the drive around nap or sleep time is always a great idea. However, if that is not possible, try allowing everyone in the car to pick some songs to hear. The teenagers will be able to tollerate the toddler songs if they know they will get to hear something they want (within reason). Picture books, paper and pen, road games - car colors, snacks, lots of stops and some of their favorite toys are some things that have helped me. As a last resort, if you don't have any, find a friend or family member that is willing to let you borrow their travel dvd player and let them watch movies - Babe, Pig in the City is a decent family movie.
Good luck! And remember, family road trips are things that memories are made from. Think Vacation and RV - lol

Answer
When we travel with my brother (Hes 3) and its on long trips we always bring lots of back up plans. Here are some of the basics..
Coloring Books
Favorite Toys
Portable Dvd player
Children Cds
Snacks, Bottles, etc.
My brother hates long trips but as long as we keep him well entertained he normally doesnt give us a problem. The dvd player is always last resort, if everything else fails. Sometimes if we are lucky he'll take a nap and relief us of the annoying songs we have to listen to.. Thank god for Ipods ;)
