We have spent the last week in North Carolina, in an area just outside of Asheville (more on the area and things to do some other time). We left our house on the Friday right after Christmas and we will head back this Saturday. The entire trip is just about 12 hours one way, and we decided to drive for various reasons. I was actually a little nervous about driving because Chloe doesn't always do so well in the car. As a matter of fact, we had a contingency plan - if she was a disaster on the way up, I would fly back with her on Saturday and Eddie and Caleb would drive down. But she actually did really well on the way up, so we'll all be driving back together again. Caleb is a great traveler. Last winter we did a road trip and went up to South Carolina, stopping at a couple places along the way, and he was awesome. I wasn't worried about him at all. But there are things I do to make sure it goes more smoothly and that he is kept busy.
There you have it! It's not impossible to road trip with little kids - just takes some planning, preparation, and flexibility!
Hopefully you feel more prepared for your next road trip! xoxo, Jenise

I hope that i can do the same thing. It is very hard for me to plan for a road trip since my kids are so young, they were all boys and they have not so far age gaps that cause them to fight a lot. I hope that I can do this too. In fact, I was planning on going to a camping with them in order for them to experience it. They do not know anything else aside from gadgets and I hate it.

I just bought the lap tray for my 4-year-old because we have a roadtrip coming up. Thanks for the tip!
