We'll see how this next trip goes...Thanks, Meg. We'll see how this next trip goes before we try your suggestion (though Lauren V. suggested the same thing!). Joel is pretty uncertain about driving at night, especially because he will have worked a full day painting on Thursday before we leave. He's also not as confident driving at night when tired and we're both nervous that Charlotte won't actually fall asleep, so then we'd be exhausted AND have a crying babe. :) I'll report back. We may change our minds completely if this 10+ hour drive goes badly.Kelly Albertshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00735077017312008968noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6809461507917177620.post-1290899067924189962014-07-23T06:08:01.095-07:002014-07-23T06:08:01.095-07:00Can you guys take the majority of the trip overnig...Can you guys take the majority of the trip overnight? That's been the best option for us. We leave at around 5 and Miles is awake for the first few hours of the trip. At our first stop (usually around his bedtime, 7:30-8...but basically we just stop whenever he gets fussy) we change him into his PJ's (a lightweight onesie is a great idea!) nurse him and then get on the road again. He usually falls asleep and stays asleep until we get there. Driving at night works better for us because Miles is just too active to sit in the car (even with frequent stops) for a long car trip during the day. Good luck!<br /><br />Meg SortoreUnknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03332367697832224857noreply@blogger.com
