What Kind of Road Tripper Are You? - Waspy's Truck Stop
How to Keep Kids Entertained on Road Trips

Whether you’re cruising down I-80 or taking the scenic route through Iowa, every road trip crew has its cast of characters — and we’ve seen them all (yes, even the backseat DJ). So… which one are you?

🚗 The Planner

You’ve got the route printed and backed up on three apps. You know where the clean bathrooms are, the gas prices in every town, and exactly when and where the group will stop — including the ETA at Blue Grass Inn & Suites, of course.

Must-have item: Laminated itinerary and a backup battery

🎧 The Backseat DJ

You control the vibe. Whether it’s old-school country, 2000s pop, or the ultimate road trip playlist, you’re ready to hit play at the perfect moment. Volume? Always maxed out.

Must-have item: Aux cord privileges

😴 The Sleeper

You’re in the car, but barely. Hoodie up, seat reclined, and gone before you leave the driveway. Wake you up when it’s snack time or when someone’s at the wrong exit.

Must-have item: Travel pillow and sunglasses (for “napping”)

🍿 The Snacker

You’re not here for the drive — you’re here for the snacks. You’ve got sweet, salty, crunchy, and chewy ready to go. And yes, you will judge other people’s gas station haul.

Must-have item: Cooler full of “just in case” snacks

📸 The Sightseer

You want to stop at everything. World’s largest bull? Must see. Funky roadside diner? Must stop. Wind turbine farm? Must photograph. You turn every road trip into a documentary.

Must-have item: Phone storage space and a love for detours

🧭 The Human GPS

You don’t need a map — you are the map. You know the backroads, shortcuts, and weirdly specific landmarks. You’ve “been this way before,” even if it’s a different state.

Must-have item: Vague sense of direction and lots of confidence

No matter what kind of road tripper you are, Audubon and Templeton make it easy to take a break, refuel, and recharge. Need a place to rest? Stay overnight at Blue Grass Inn & Suites. Hungry? Grab a meal at The Feed Mill Restaurant. With comfortable rooms, hearty food, and local charm, your road trip just got a whole lot easier.
