Having a portable idiot box makes the treks bearable (according to a focus group of one, moi). Since Team Bowman typically cruise review norwegian majesty drives our cars until the wheels fall off, our rides are not equipped with built-in entertainment systems.
We (I mean I) broke down and purchased the Phillips 9-inch LCD dual screen DVD player for some upcoming weekend road trips. We had a cheapie single screen one that worked for the past 5 years and it croaked so I upgraded.
Our DVD collection is dated lots of Elmo, Teletubbies, Max Ruby, The Wiggles, Dora and loads of old Disney movies that they ve watched too many times and are sick of. How many times can you watch Toy Story 1 through 3? We need a DVD makeover. I couldn t justify buying a slew of new DVDs that I know my children will only watch a few times. And I hate that all of these DVDs are going to end up in a landfill someday.
I can t believe it s taken me this loooooong to figure this one out. Since I spend more time at the Charlotte Mecklenburg Library than your average cruise review norwegian majesty senior citizen, I logged into my online account and searched for DVDs. The Charlotte Mecklenburg Library has every kid DVD imaginable for check-out. I hit the DVD jackpot. SCORE!
Have a weekend road trip coming up? Hit up the library! This will not work for longer road trips because you only get to keep the DVDs for 3 days. If you check them out on Friday, they are due back Monday or you get a daily fine.
