Water. Lots and lots of water.
Non-perishable snacks
Perishable food should be in a cooler for freshness!
A Long Day’s Journey
Phone chargers, preferably compatible with cars
Cash. Lots of smaller businesses don’t take credit cards, or have a minimum
A map—on the off chance your phone has no GPS or you forget your phone chargers, nothing beats a good ol’ paper map.
Full tank of gas so you don’t have to stop halfway through the day
First Aid kit; it’s going to be a nice day, but things happen!
Have fun!
