Long car ride help.......

We've not done a LONG car trip with the kids in quite some time. With the move coming up, we'll have 3 days of non-stop driving. We'll have the moving truck and the SUV. Clint will drive the moving truck and take one kid with him. I'll have the SUV and one kid with me. The kids have always been good travelers, and I have some things to keep them entertained, but if you have a secret weapon that works well for you, would you please share it? I'd like to have some new things/surprises to give them in addition to our old reliables.

This list is mostly for me to remember (I imagine in 3 weeks I'll be a moving zombie):
Color by number/letter
Wikki stix
Dot to dots
Kindergarten workbook (Emery)
Preschool workbook (Chani)
Small happy meal type toys (handed out one at a time)
Movies (Dora, the only thing Chani will watch) + headphones
Books on CD
Books to read (a few new ones)
Lots of snacks
