TIPS The BEST Playlist For a Summer Road Trip

disclosure: This post is sponsored by Walmart+.

We just took a trip across the country.

Yep.

From almost sea to shining sea.

We drove from right outside of Dallas to Cape Cod.

Three glorious days of just us and the open road.

Just between us?

There’s nothing I love more than a road trip. Long talks with the cutest guy on the planet, sipping on hot coffee as the sun rises over the horizon, and watching Arkansas, Tennesee, Virginia, Maryland, Pennsylvania, New York, Connecticut and Rhode Island unfold just outside the window.

And the best part?

Road trips like this got even easier.

All thanks to my Walmart+ membership.

We drove across the country to spend some time up at Cape Cod and attend a wedding in Newport.

The wedding was glorious.

The time at the Cape was glorious.

And the drive was glorious.

The best part of any drive? What makes it so much fun? The thing that makes the trip so much easier?

The PLAYLIST.

Did you know that Walmart+ members can get six months of Spotify Premium for free (nearly $60 value).

I LOVE Spotify Premium.

It’s totally GOLD. We listen to ad-free music and podcasts and we even download music and listen to it offline (perfect when you are driving in the mountains and you lose signal. This limited-time offer is available to both new and existing paid Walmart+ members who haven’t previously tried Spotify Premium.

Here’s what kept us company across the Mississippi river and Blueridge mountains.

Our favorite songs we listened to on repeat:

• The Tide is High

• American Pie
• Sweet Caroline
• Run For The Roses
• Our Song
• Can I Have This Dance
• Song of the Myra
• There’s No Place I’d Rather Be
• Leaving On a Jet Plane
• Rhinestone Cowboy
• The Longest Time
• Take a Chance on Me
• Don’t Go Breaking My Heart

Our favorite podcasts we listened to on repeat:

• The Gilded Gentleman (all about the Gilded Age)
• This American Life (such an amazing slice of life podcast)
• American History Tellers (loved the series on Lewis and Clark)
• Start-up (all about start-up businesses)

I know I’ve mentioned this 1,000 times—but I LOVE my Walmart+ membership. It’s so easy to use and it’s helped me stay on track with my eating because I’m not walking the aisles of the store tossing impulse purchases into my cart.

Instead? I plan out meals and recipes, order them online and everything I need for a week’s worth of menus shows up at my front door. It also helped planning for the trip. We also ordered snacks for our road trip and got free same-day delivery from our local store as a Walmart+ member ($35 order minimum. Restrictions apply.).

Here are some of our favorite snacks to take on a trip:

• Pop Secret Popcorn (the individual bags)
• Laughing Cow Cheese (we eat this with vegetables)
• Almonds (natural and unsalted)
• Celery (cut into pieces for easy munching)
• Kind bars
• String cheese
• Beef jerky (my husband’s favorite)
• La Croix sparkling water (grapefruit flavor)
• PB2 (powdered peanut butter)
