conv: I am going on a 17 hour road trip with my husband and 4 kids.  I am about to leave on a 17 hour car trip with my husband_comma_ our four kids_comma_ and 2 dogs. I think I have everything ready to go though You can never be too prepared! I am sure you have got everything. I hope so. I even portioned out each meal for our dogs in little plastic bags to make sure we have enough.  That was very smart thinking on your part. Have fun on your trip!
